I-BOND® PB BIO 1025

I-BOND® PB BIO 1025 is a bio-based MDI resin developed for the composite wood panel industry, specifically for the manufacture of particleboard. This innovative binder is part of a wider range of formaldehyde-free, fast-curing I-BOND® resins that enable the production of high-quality, durable composite wood products. The new resin offers similar quality characteristics and performance capabilities to standard I-BOND® resins, while maximizing the bio-based content of the final boards.

Product Features
  • I-BOND® PB BIO 1025 is compatible with existing manufacturing processes, allowing manufacturers to easily switch materials according to requirements. It can meet both composite wood panel specification requirements and performance expectations. It can help particleboard manufacturers meet emission standards and lower their carbon footprint.
  • One component resin: No need for mixing, or pre-blending and no hardeners needed
  • Up to 25% bio-based content, helping particle board producers meet sustainability targets
  • Mechanical and wet properties developed to meet P2 and P3 standards
  1. Internal bond > 0.45 MPa
  2. Surface soundness > 0.8 N/mm2
  3. 24h swell < 14% thickness
  • Developed for compatibility with existing:
  1. Manufacturing processes
  2. PU resins
  • Optimized to deliver similar reactivity to existing PU resins
  • Can enable comparable production rates, without any loss of speed
  • This bio-based resin can offer up to a 30% reduction in carbon footprint, supporting customers' decarbonization target efforts
  • Can be coupled with ISCC PLUS Mass Balance Attribution to increase bio-based content and further reduce the product's attributed carbon footprint
