Particleboards from Lower Grade Hardwoods.

Abstract

Properties and characteristics are reviewed for particleboards prepared from hardwood residues of a number of species. In general, hardwood particleboards met or exceeded the minimum properties defined in Commercial Standard CS 236 for both Type 1 (interior) and Type (2) exterior applications. However, certain anomalies in the data suggest need for further research in the areas of wood-adhesive interactions, particularly with the higher density hardwoods. An appendix of research references is included for hardwood usage in composite panel products other than particleboard. (Author)
