Provided is an adhesive that effectively utilizes bark and demonstrates superior adhesion performance. The adhesive of the present invention comprises at least one adhesive resin (A) selected from the group consisting of phenolic resin, urea resin, and melamine resin, and finely pulverized bark (B) comprising cellulose nanofibers.

Adhesive

Provided is an adhesive using bark, which is advantageous not only in that the proportion of the bark is increased so as to effectively utilize the bark, and the proportion of the phenolic resin is reduced to lower the adhesive solids content, but also in that the composition of the adhesive is simple. An adhesive using bark, which comprises a resol type phenolic resin and a radiata pine bark powder, wherein the adhesive contains 30 to 40 parts by mass of the radiata pine bark powder, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of the resol type phenolic resin solids and the radiata pine bark powder. Alternatively, an adhesive using bark, which comprises a resol type phenolic resin and a radiata pine bark powder, wherein the adhesive contains 20 to 50 parts by mass of the radiata pine bark powder and wheat flour, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of the resol type phenolic resin solids, the radiata pine bark powder, and the wheat flour, and wherein the mass ratio of the radiata pine bark powder and the wheat flour is 9:1 to 5:5.
