Molasses can be transformed by heat into substances which can react with wood or homopolymerize to produce bonding between wood Parts. It can replace phenol resin as binder. The proper pressing temperature lies in the range of 200-260℃. The pressing time is in the range of 8-12 rain. when the pressing temperature remains constant at 237℃, with pressing time increasing from 8-12 rain. the swelling rate of two hour-boiling test decreases form 18.5 % to 10.2%. When pressing time remains cbnstant for 8 rain., with the pressing temperature increasing from. 200-260℃, the swelling rate of two hour-boiling test decreases from 50.5% to,5.7%.
