The project builds on the use of natural polymers, particularly dextrins, and combines renewable raw materials with modern technological processes. Researchers will focus on developing new types of binders that can maintain key properties of current materials, such as mechanical strength, production efficiency, and economic feasibility. “We are part of one of the most ambitious materials projects of today. Together with my colleagues Michal Marek and Jan Hajzler, we are focusing on developing an innovative solution with the potential to fundamentally transform the wood materials industry,” said the project’s principal investigator Tomáš Solný. The ambition of the project is not only the partial replacement of existing resins but also the development of a fully-fledged alternative. An important part of the research will also be the quantification of the limits of the new materials and their properties in practice. The outcome should be products with lower formaldehyde content, enabling a shift toward stricter emission classes. The project responds to growing demands for sustainability and material safety and may significantly contribute to the transformation of the entire wood materials sector. The DextrinBond project – eco-friendly binders reducing the environmental impact of particleboard production – is co-financed by the European Union under the Operational Programme Technologies and Applications for Competitiveness (OP TAC), reg. no.
