However, UF resins are susceptible to hydrolysis and wood-based materials will thus emit formaldehyde. Scientists at the University of Göttingen, Germany developed an alternative formaldehyde-free binder based on oil plant residues (pomace).

This innovative technique allows the production of moulded parts from renewable raw materials, with enhanced water resistance and flexural strength. The boards and mouldings are particularly well-suited for packaging, furniture, the automotive sector (including caravans) and house building.
