Structural Particleboard from Waste Materials

Structural Particleboard from Waste Materials Introduction The properties of particleboard are determined by a number of factors, the most important of which are: (i) Type and size of the particles. (ii) Type and quantity of adhesive. (iii) Distribution and the arrangement of the particles. (iv) Efficiency of adhesive distribution. (v) Manufacturing techniques.

Introduction The properties of particleboard are determined by a number of factors, the most important of which are: (i) Type and size of the particles. (ii) Type and quantity of adhesive. (iii) Distribution and the arrangement of the particles. (iv) Efficiency of adhesive distribution. (v) Manufacturing techniques. (vi) Density of the manufactured particleboard. The manufacturers of particleboard are tuned in to utilize various types of inferior wood waste to a great extent. Apart from using any kind of wood waste, a great number of research laboratories throughout the world have been investigating the possibility of utilizing nonwoody lignocellulosic materials -- particularly agricultural residues. Here especially the usage of flax shives (Swiderski 1960) and the employment of bagasse fibre (Hesch 1968,1972) for particleboard manufacture is of importance.
