Smartpf

Get higher quality and efficiency while using ~15% less PF.

SmartPF changes how phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin is applied in real time, adjusting its molecular weight and viscosity to reduce overpenetration, improve distribution, and deliver stronger, more consistent bonding.

PF engineered for
performance, not excess.

PF resin is critical for durability and moisture resistance. But because PF can penetrate unevenly into the wood structure, mills often compensate by using more PF than necessary to ensure consistent bonding.

That margin protects performance, but drives up unnecessary costs while limiting efficiency.

‍

Hit performance targets with less material.

Less PF. More savings.
  • Up to 15% reduction in PF resin usage
  • Lower material cost per board
  • Reduced resin aerosol loss
Stronger, more consistent boards
  • Maintained strength, durability, and moisture resistance
  • More consistent panel properties across runs
  • Reduced overpenetration for more effective bonding
Lower impact
  • Reduced chemical use
  • Lower environmental impact

Designed to integrate directly into your existing production line, SmartPF brings real-time control to PF application without disrupting operations.

Stop overusing PF as insurance.
