Description
A new method is being developed for the fast and reliable assessment of the pathway(s) followed during formaldehyde-based resin synthesis, both at laboratory and industrial scale. The method is based on Fourier transform Near Infrared (FT-NIR) chemometrics. No sample manipulation is necessary and the complete evaluation can be performed on- or off-line in less than 1 min. FT-NIR chemometrics were found to be valuable in providing a fast and consistent way of monitoring directly the effects of a change of resin formulation when evaluating new procedures at laboratory scale. Similarly, during industrial production, NIR will soon become a standard tool for ensuring reproducibility and improving overall quality. Measurements are performed on-line and deviations from the standard synthesis pathway can be detected early, allowing the necessary steps to be taken in order to return to the desired pathway. Furthermore, NIR methodologies have been developed to identify and check the conformity of raw materials and final products from urea and UFC solutions to laminated paper produced by impregnation with formaldehyde-based resins. This can prove particularly useful in applications (such as in laminated paper production) where the reproducibility of production and the effects of storage are both questionable and difficult to assess.
