Cement bonded particleboards were manufactured from hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) wood particles. Hydration tests were carried out to determine the inhibitory index in order to characterise wood-cement compatibility. The results revealed that the mixture of hornbeam -cement can be classifi ed as moderate inhibition. Two wood: cement ratios were applied in this study, namely 1:3 and 1:4, for th...

This paper explores the physical and economic potential to substitute anaerobically digested bovine biofiber (ADBF) for wood in the making of particleboard. Laboratory tests indicated that replacement of one-half the wood in particleboard with ADBF produced panels that compared favorably to the requirements for commercial particleboard performance (specified by ANSI Standard A208.1–1999). The e...

Particleboard is a product of wood technology engineering made particles and other lignocellulosic materials which are bonded with synthetic adhesives. As an information, utilization natural adhesive for particleboard still limited. This study aimed to determine the influence hybrid from citric acid sucrose properties composed Sengon veener by-products sorghum stalk. The content used was 15% 25...

The purpose of this study was to provide insights into deeper understanding the combustion performance cement-bonded particleboards. Cement-bonded particleboard produced from Chinese fir processing residues is fabricated and its further evaluated by cone calorimeter analysis. Obtained results revealed that positively depends on density which, higher imparts corresponding particleboards reductio...

The objective of this study was to manufacture particleboard made from UF with low formaldehyde (E1) for use in indoor environments. The influence of UF in particles on the formaldehyde emission and its mechanical properties were investigated. The experimental results showed that the formaldehyde emission released decreased linearly with consumption UF-low formaldehyde- particle. Formaldehyde e...
