Among the resins consumed by the wood-based industry, phenolics are one of the most important types used for impregnation, coating or gluing purposes. They are prepared by condensing phenol with formaldehyde (PF). One major use of PF is as matrix polymer for decorative laminates in exterior cladding and wet-room applications. Important requirements for such PFs are favorable flow properties (low viscosity), rapid curing behavior (high reactivity) and sufficient self-adhesion capacity (high residual curing potential). Partially substituting phenol in PF with bio-based phenolic co-reagents like lignin modifies the physicochemical properties of the resulting resin. In this study, phenol-formaldehyde formulations were synthesized where either 30% or 50% (in weight) of the phenol monomer were substituted by either sodium lignosulfonate or Kraft lignin. The effect of modifying the lignin material by phenolation before incorporation into the resin synthesis was also investigated. The resins so obtained were characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), rheology, and measurements of contact angle and surface tension using the Wilhelmy plate method and drop shape analysis.
