Abstract

Reactions between CaCO<sub>3</sub> and CH<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> during polycondensation of UF resin produce Ca<sup>2+</sup>. Ionic bond complexation binds Ca<sup>2+</sup> with UF resin. The UF resin crystalline percentage decreases from 26.86% to 22.71%. IB strength of resin bonded fiberboard increases from 0.75 to 0.94 MPa.
