Cement bonded particleboard from Eucalyptus camaldulensis wood
Cement bonded particleboard from Eucalyptus camaldulensis wood
S. M. Yasin and T. A. Qureshi
ABSTRACT
For determining the suitability of Eucalyptus
camaldulensis wood for the manufacture of cement bonded
particleboard, panels were made from the flakes before
and after extraction with cold and hot water separately
and by mixing Portland cement at the rate of 66% of
air-dry weight of the board Physico mechanical
properties of different panels indicated that the
dimensional stability of panels containing cold water
extracted flakes was poor as compared to those
containing hot water extracted flakes. The modulus of
rupture, nail and screw withdrawal resistance of panels
containing hot water extracted flakes were better than
the panels of cold eater extracted flakes.
