The invention relates to an aqueous adhesive composition comprising a thermosetting resin including: at least one aromatic compound bearing at least two functions, one of said functions being a hydroxymethyl function, the other being an aldehyde function or a hydroxymethyl function, the aromatic compound comprising at least one aromatic ring; and at least one aromatic polyphenol comprising at least one aromatic ring bearing at least two hydroxyl functions in the meta position relative to one another, the two ortho-positions of at least one of the hydroxyl functions being non-substituted. Such an adhesive composition can be used, in particular, to assemble wooden elements, and is an advantageous alternative to the use of a formaldehyde-based phenolic plastic glue. |
