The human population has increased tremendously over the last century. This increase has
caused the rapid destruction of forest resources. This makes it difficult to access raw wood materials. When
the forest products industry could not meet its needs for wood, it tried to meet this need using wood
composites obtained from wood residues. Urea formaldehyde is one of the most used thermosetting resins
in wood composite production worldwide. Urea formaldehyde combines wood particles under temperature
and pressure to form a rigid structure. This material is generally used in the production of boards, such as
medium-density fiber boards (MDF) and particleboards (PB).
In this study, UF glue was mixed with organic materials (pine flour, pine fiber, MDF powder, and wheat
flour) and hardened in hot air without pressure. The samples were characterized physically and
mechanically. According to the results, water absorption (WA) of the samples with added MDF powder
was lower than that of the other samples. Both WA and thickness swelling (TS) of the WF-added samples
were high, whereas the pressure strength and screw withdrawal (SR) strength were low. In this case, it can
be said that the addition of WF significantly reduces the UF durability. It was concluded that with the
method used in this study, UF composites with organic particle addition could be produced using only hot
air without pressure.
