The primary goal of this work was to develop a novel adhesive technology platform for oriented strand board (OSB) using waste animal protein extracts, as feedstock. In this research, a hazardous animal processing waste was thermally hydrolyzed, and the proteinaceous fractions were recovered and modified into an adhesive. The adhesive developed as such was formulated for OSB adhesion applications, and the OSB performance was also evaluated. Performance results showed that the OSB specimens made with up to 60% by weight of protein hydrolyzate based adhesive met the Canadian Standard Association (CSA O437.0-93) requirements for commercial applications. Based on the intermediate moisture resistance results observed, the recommended use of these boards could be for relatively low moisture environments.
