-Once heat is introduced,
-a shorter hot pressing time might be sufficient to cure the resin and a low gas formaldehyde emission Elaeis palm plywood panel is expected to be obtained
-because the 13 NMR results indicated there is no formaldehyde gas emitted and excessive urea in the resin system. Therefore,
- it can be shown that a reduction in the hot pressing time from 18 min to 16 min can be achieved without harming the total performance of the treated Elaeis palm plywood panel as indicated in Table 1
