The water soluble phenol formaldehyde resin(PF) penetration into poplar flakes was investigated microscopically. The results of microscopic observation on the glue line and internal bond testing of the board showed that the condensed water would dilute PF and thus increase its flow and penetration into flakes. The results also indicated that the penetration into flakes decreased with increasing average molecular weight of the resin. It concludes that the resin with higher average molecular weight could be used in steaming vacuum pressing than the resin used in conventional pressing.
