Latest Patents
Jinlan Ju holds a patent for her invention titled "Heat-resistant structural wood adhesive compositions involving pMDI, polyol and aromatic polyols." This invention describes an adhesive composition that forms the basis of a heat-resistant, fire-resistant, and water-resistant polyurethane adhesive suitable for applications in the manufacture of wood products. The wood finger-jointed studs produced using this adhesive can meet or exceed a fire rating of 60 minutes according to ASTM E 119 and ASTM D 7374. The heat resistance of the adhesive is achieved by incorporating thermally stable aromatic polyol molecules into the polymeric structures of the wood adhesive system. This system is composed of the reaction products of poly(methylene diphenyl diisocyanate), at least one polyether polyol or polyester polyol, and a hydroxyl phenol aromatic polyol. Furthermore, this novel wood adhesive system possesses high water resistance, making it suitable for the manufacture of highly durable engineered wood products. It is fast moisture-curable at ambient temperatures and is also formaldehyde-free.
