  • Patent number: 8211534
    Abstract: A board capable of capturing and decomposing both formaldehyde and acetaldehyde comprises a wood fiber board comprising a plant fiber of 30 wt % or more, and an aldehyde capturing agent comprising at least carbodihydrazide which is impregnated and solidified inside the side of the fiber board. In addition to the wood fiber board, a fiber board made of a mixture material of a resin fiber and a plant fiber combined. A carbodihydrazide is sprayed onto the fiber board in the form of water solution and optionally comprises a surfactant.

  • Publication number: 20100125121
    Abstract: A wet process type hard fiberboard is provided that is environmentally-friendly by finding a reinforcing agent that does not result in environmental contamination as the agent takes the place of phenol resin having a significant effect on environmental contamination. This environmentally-friendly wet process type hard fiberboard uses acrylic resin and epoxy resin not containing bisphenol A as reinforcing agents in place of conventional phenol resin. Both reinforcing agents are thermosetting resins, hardly reacting at all at temperatures of 100° C. or lower, and reacting rapidly at temperatures above 140° C. which results in curing, while in terms of environmental protection, these reinforcing agents are optimally suited for use in wet process type hard fiber boards in which water is used by recycling numerous times, with any of the water used being hardly discharged to the outside.
