Resinut: a Bio Phenol Formaldehyde Resin using Chestnut Shells

Main Article Content
Abstract
The concerns for environmental impact due to the agricultural industry are increasing. One example is the waste associated with the removal of the chestnut shells for this fruit’s preservation and selling. On the other hand, the search for biological alternatives to chemical products is increasing, as environmental-friendly options are a must for brands. This work proposes the development of a bio phenol formaldehyde resin, substituting 40 % of the phenol for bio-oil obtained via pyrolysis of the chestnut shells. The product, Resinut, has the potential to have the same properties as a traditional PF resin.
