A study of particleboards made from wood waste particles and common cane (Arundo donax L.) and urea formaldehyde adhesive.
19 particleboards of different thicknesses and humidity and composed of different proportions of recycled wood and reeds were made through a drying process. Test samples were then cut (longitudinal and transversal) with dimensions in accordance with UNE EN regulations for wood boards: 4 for flexion...

| Summary: | 19 particleboards of different thicknesses and humidity and composed of different proportions of recycled wood and reeds were made through a drying process. Test samples were then cut (longitudinal and transversal) with dimensions in accordance with UNE EN regulations for wood boards: 4 for flexion tests, 3 for water immersion tests and 2 for determining humidity and density. Tests were carried out for density, humidity, thickness swelling after water immersion and flexure resistance, in accordance with UNE EN regulations for wood boards. From the results obtained, it was noted that boards with a 75/25 ratio of reed particles and wood particles showed affinity and for this reason better quality boards are obtained than the wood boards made through the same process. It was also demonstrated that it was not necessary to dry the material before making the board. Therefore, power costs are lower and also thickness swelling is less than for wood boards. |
