Abstract

The tannin extract of Cissus dinklagei was used in the preparation of a 3 % paraformaldehyde resin for the manufacture of particleboard. This tannin is of the procyanidin type associated with furan residues. The modulus of elasticity of the resin obtained after the thermomechanical analysis is 3825 MPa. The TGA performed on the panels obtained shows three degradation zones with a thermal stability zone between 74 and 210 °C. These panels have good thermomechanical properties. The values of the best density, internal bond, modulus of elasticity in flexion (MOE) and resistance to flexion (MOR) are respectively 658 kg/m3; 0.52 MPa; 2035.4 MPa; 16.3 MPa. These results classify this panel for generalinterior construction and furniture uses according to the NF EN 312 standard.
