ABSTRACT = {Experimental investigations have been carried out on the potential use of tannin-furfuryl alcohol resin for 
biobased composites using vegetal fi ber reinforcement. Results showed that a mixture containing 54% furfuryl 
alcohol, 45% modifi ed quebracho extract and 0.9% paratoluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst yields a resin that 
can be used with a nonwoven fl ax fi ber mat to manufacture lightweight composites with good mechanical 
properties and a very short curing time with a regular hot press. The panels made were tested for tensile and 
fl exural modulus and strength, water resistance and thermo-degradation.},
