American Chemistry Council Recognizes Hexion’s EcoBind™ Technology

Hexion’s resin technology advances have enabled engineered wood panel manufacturers to reduce their composite panel emissions – for products such as particleboard, medium density fiberboard and hardwood plywood – by 80 to 90 percent since the early 1980s.  We recently received the Health and Safety Award from the Composites UK Trade Association for our development of a series of lower emitting formaldehyde Cellobond™ phenolic resin for the composite industry, while maintaining its inherent FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) properties (EN45545-2 rail standard). This resin contains one-tenth the free formaldehyde of previous systems resulting in reduced emissions during composite manufacturing while maintaining the reliable performance of phenolic resins.
