The effects of thin kiln sticks on the drying of two inch western hemlock lumber

Creator:

Horton, Robert Kenneth

Abstract:

New technology allows the production of thinner kiln sticks manufactured of phenolic resin impregnated paper which are both structurally and economically realistic. This project tested the effects of kiln stick thicknesses on dry kiln air circulation and on lumber drying degrade. Three variables, stick thickness (3/4, 9/16, 7/16 and 1/4...

The influence of various resin parameters on the physical properties of oak flakeboard

Creator:

Jay, Gregory Lynn

Abstract:

The substantial increase in resin costs due to the recent energy crisis, increased public awareness to the problem of free formaldehyde from boards bonded with urea-formaldehyde resins, and a projected increase in the production of exterior board have emphasized the need for new and substitute adhesive systems. One new development...

The effects of diisocyanate-polyol resins on the properties of particleboard.

Creator:

Milota, Michael R.

Abstract:

The ability of the resin to deform plastically can be an important factor when considering the mechanical properties of particleboard. Between resin droplets there exists an unbonded region that forms the surface for a crack. When particleboard is deformed stress concentrations develop at the crack tips in the voids. A...
