ABSTRACT = {Commercial particleboards are currently synthesized by blending wood furnish with formaldehyde-based 
resins and curing them under a combination of heat and pressure. Particleboards manufactured with 
urea-formaldehyde resin are known to liberate formaldehyde during their service lives. Formaldehyde’s 
carcinogenicity has prompted the search for environmentally-friendly resins for wood composite manufacture. 
Soybean protein-based adhesives have been developed as a renewable and formaldehyde-free replacement for 
urea-formaldehyde resins. Particleboards processed using the soybean protein adhesive matched or exceeded 
performance criteria of M-2-grade commercial particleboards when evaluated as per American National 
Standards Institute (ANSI) specifi cations.},
