Particleboard industries, which are progressively increasing in number, consume a significant amount of wood from planted forests, mainly from the Pinus and Eucalyptus genera. However, these panels can be produced from any lignocellulosic material that provides high mechanical strength and good physical characteristics. Accordingly, the waste generated by the Brazilian agribusiness industry is an alternative resource for manufacturing particleboards. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the combination of sugarcane bagasse and eucalyptus wood on the physical and mechanical properties of particleboards. The panels were produced with sugarcane bagasse in the proportion of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% supplemented with E. urophylla. The panels were produced with 9% urea-formaldehyde adhesive, nominal density of 0.70 g/cm3, and with the pressing cycle of 160°C temperature, specific pressure of 3.92 MPa, and operation time of 8 min. The significance of the proportion of sugarcane bagasse on all physical and mechanical properties was evaluated. The panels with the combination of wood with sugarcane bagasse showed the lowest values ​​in the physical properties and the highest values ​​in the mechanical properties. Only panels prepared with 25% and 50% sugarcane bagasse met all the requirements of the marketing standards.

ABSTRACT This research aims to evaluate the quality of particleboard produced with particles generated from discarded furniture, both in its pure form or mixed with industrial particles of Pinus. The material was collected in the region of Curitiba City (Paraná) in the form of chips processed in an industrial chipper of a company specialized in waste wood recycling. The experimental plan consisted in producing panels with 10%, 25%, 50% and 75% of particles obtained from discarded furniture mixed with particles of Pinus, and panels with 100% of such materials. Panels were produced with nominal density of 0,70 g/cm3, using the urea-formaldehyde resin in a proportion of 10% solids - dry basis weight of the particles and 1% paraffin emulsion. The panels were pressed with a specific pressure of 4,0 MPa, temperature of 140ºC and pressing time of 10 minutes. The results of internal bond met the requirements of the standard EN 312, which indicates that there was an adequate bonding of these particles obtained from discarded furniture. The results of physical and mechanical properties of the panels demonstrated the feasibility of using particles from discarded furniture when producing particleboard, with the possibility of full use of these particles from waste without mixing it with industrial particles of Pinus free from contamination.

Abstract The quality of plywood panels depends on factors such as the forest species and the adhesive used in their production, and understanding the interferences of these factors in the final properties of the plywood is of fundamental importance. The study aimed to develop multilaminate plywood panels with two forest species and two types of adhesive and to evaluate the influences of these factors (forest species and adhesive) on the physical and mechanical properties of the plywood. The panels were produced with sheets of parica and pine with two types of adhesives, urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde, with a weight of 150 g/cm². Then, each set was pressed for 10 minutes under a specific pressure of 0.98 MPa at a temperature of 150 °C. Three panels were produced for each type of blade and adhesive, totaling four treatments. The plywood was evaluated for physical properties (humidity, bulk density, and water absorption) and mechanical properties (parallel and perpendicular static flexion and resistance to mechanical shear). The results showed that the forest species had a greater influence on physical and mechanical properties, with the best results being observed for plywood produced with pine. The panels with sheets of parica and phenol-formaldehyde adhesive showed less moisture. The apparent density of the panels should be considered as it positively influenced the mechanical properties and negatively impacted water absorption. It is concluded that the plywood produced can be used for internal and external applications. However, it is indicated for structural purposes as it did not meet the requirements of the NBR 31.000.001/2:2001.

ABSTRACT The wood panel industry is constantly growing, being necessary the innovation in technologies and raw materials to improve the quality of the final product. Considering the shortage and pressure to decrease the dependence of wood, there is an interest in other renewable materials such as agricultural wastes. Among these wastes, coffee parchment is one which deserves notoriety. An alternative use for coffee parchment could be for production of particleboard in association with wood particles. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using coffee parchment for production of particleboard. The following percentages of wastes were used: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% in association to eucalyptus wood. The panels were produced with 8% of urea formaldehyde (based on dry weight of particles). The pressing cycle consisted by: pre-pressing of 0.5 MPa for 10 minutes followed by pressing of 4.0 MPa, and temperature of 160° C for 15 minutes. The compaction ratio of particleboards produced using higher quantities of parchment improved the physical properties. The properties of Water Absorption (2 and 24 h) and Thickness Swelling (2 h) decreased with increasing percentage of coffee parchment. The Thickness Swelling (24 h) showed not significant effect with an increase of coffee waste. The Modulus of Elasticity for coffee parchment particleboards was in the range 646.49 ± 112.65 to 402.03 ± 66.24 MPa, while the Modulus of Rupture ranged from 8.18 ± 1.39 to 4.45 ± 0.75 MPa. The results showed that 10% of coffee parchment could be added for production of particleboards.

Brazil is one of the major banana producers in the world, and consequently generates a great amount of residues from this crop, which could be utilized in particleboard production. The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of different chemical treatments of the particles of Musa sp. pseudostem, on their chemical and physical properties (basic density), and on the physical and mechanical properties of the particleboards produced with the same material. Five treatments were applied to the particles: 1) without treatment (control); 2) 2% acetic acid; 3) 0.5% NaOH; 4) acetone (1/1 in volume/volume); and 5) water. Panels with medium density were produced (0.70 g/cm³), bonded with 12% (in relation to the particle mass) of urea-formaldehyde adhesive. The pressing cycle was conducted at 160º C, under 4 MPa, during 8 min. The results obtained indicated that the chemical treatments performed in the particles of banana tree pseudostem affected their chemical composition. The basic density of the particles was 0.10 g/cm³, and only the NaOH treatment led to its increase for values around 0.13 g/cm3. The panels produced with particles without treatment (control) and particles treated with acetic acid presented the lowest values of water absorption and thickness swelling after 2 and 24 h of immersion. Mechanical properties of all the panels produced were below the minimum recommended by the standard CS 236-66 (COMMERCIAL STANDARD - CS, 1968).

When the productivity of a coffee plantation drops considerably, the crop must be renewed. In this case, the removed plants become residues to be discarded. This work aimed to verify the utilization of the coffee plant stem in the production of conventional particleboards. The basic density and chemical composition of the coffee stem was obtained. 3 particleboards were produced with urea-formaldehyde at 6% and paraffin at 1%. The target density of the panels was 0.600 g/cm3. The pressing cycle used was: pressure of 0.32 MPa, temperature of 160°C and time of 8 minutes. Apparent density (AD), water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS) after 2 and 24 hours immersion and thickness non-return rate (TNRR) were the physical properties obtained. Mechanical properties evaluated were parallel compression (CP), static bending (MOE and MOR) and internal bonding (IB). The average basic density, total extractive, lignin, mineral components and holocelluloses contents obtained were 0.581gcm-3, 11%, 28%, 2% and 59%, respectively. The average values of the physical and mechanical properties of the boards, followed by their standard deviation were: AD= 0.577 gcm-3 (0.018); CR = 1.03 (0.12); WA_2h = 55% (2.3); WA_24r = 76% (2.5); TS_2h = 32% (4.4); TS_24h = 59% (7.8); TNRR = 62 % (2.0); IB = 0.43 MPa (0.03); CP = 4.9 MPa (0.23); MOE = 1324.4 MPa (1.02); and MOR = 13.4 MPa (1.02). Coffee stem conventional particleboards presented poor physical resistance. On the other hand, they may be commercialized for general uses in dry-conditions.

The potential of producing eco-friendly, formaldehyde-free, high-density fiberboard (HDF) panels from hardwood fibers bonded with urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin and a novel ammonium lignosulfonate (ALS) is investigated in this paper. HDF panels were fabricated in the laboratory by applying a very low UF gluing factor (3%) and ALS content varying from 6% to 10% (based on the dry fibers). The physical and mechanical properties of the fiberboards, such as water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS), modulus of elasticity (MOE), bending strength (MOR), internal bond strength (IB), as well as formaldehyde content, were determined in accordance with the corresponding European standards. Overall, the HDF panels exhibited very satisfactory physical and mechanical properties, fully complying with the standard requirements of HDF for use in load-bearing applications in humid conditions. Markedly, the formaldehyde content of the laboratory fabricated panels was extremely low, ranging between 0.7–1.0 mg/100 g, which is, in fact, equivalent to the formaldehyde release of natural wood.
