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 />
