Specifically, formaldehyde-based glues.
"Most manufactured wood building materials contain one of these two types of formaldehyde-based glues:
* Phenol-formaldehyde (PF)
* Urea-formaldehyde (UF).
Its water resistant properties make phenol-formaldehyde glue more effective for production of exterior wood materials. Urea-formaldehyde glue, cheaper and less tolerant of excessive moisture, is most often used for interior materials including wall paneling, flooring and cabinetry.
