A brominated phenol–formaldehyde resin was investigated as a plywood adhesive to study the effect of bromine on the physical and flammability properties of this resin. The results of these studies showed that brominated phenol–formaldehyde resin of 10% bromine content by weight of the phenol–formaldehyde resin was suitable to be used as a plywood adhesive. The optimal compressing temperature and compressing time were 110°C and 30 min, respectively. The prepared plywood obtained from the optimal condition gave a high shear strength, good flame retardancy, and good resistance to both hot and cold water. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
