chain is not hydrolytically degraded. Hydrolysis is well known for unstable dimethylen-ether<br />
bonds and results in formaldehyde emissions from cured resin. MAMINSKI et al. (2006)<br />
studied a possibility to improve adhesive properties and properties <strong>of</strong> hardener using<br />
glutaraldehyde. They stated hypothesis, that glutaraldehyde added will form 5-carbon crosslinks<br />
in the adhesive network; this way also water resistance <strong>of</strong> adhesive can be improved.<br />
When summing all the experiments, we can say that simultaneous presence <strong>of</strong> both<br />
components (activator AG based on glutaraldehyde, and collagen hydrolysate HC) gives the<br />
best environment for curing and good results from the point <strong>of</strong> view <strong>of</strong> content and emissions<br />
<strong>of</strong> formaldehyde (fig. 2).<br />

UF adhesive mixtures were used<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
In conclusion we can say that:<br />
• the best results <strong>of</strong> formaldehyde content in plywood were achieved by UF adhesive<br />
mixture containing Hr3 and 5 % HC,<br />
• the lowest emission from glued material was measured at UF adhesive mixture with<br />
Hr3 and 8 % HC.<br />
Simultaneous presence <strong>of</strong> both components in the UF adhesive mixture both reduced the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> formaldehyde in plywood, and reduced the formaldehyde emission from cured UF<br />
adhesive film. As for the UF adhesives are widely used, utilization <strong>of</strong> secondary raw materials<br />
(skin collagen hydrolysates) in adhesive production can positively influence the environment<br />
and be economically interesting.<br />
