Wollastonite to Improve Fire Properties in Medium-Density Fiberboard Made from Wood and Chicken Feather Fibers

Poultry is a crucial global protein source.However, processing creates sizable quantities of feathers as by-product. Identifying suitable uses for these poses major challenge. One possible use would be an extender in medium density fiberboards (MDF). At the same time, might also modify inherent fire resistance resulting panels, suggesting need additives to enhance performance. The potential using supplement wood MDF panels was evaluated conjunction with addition wollastonite. effects 5% or 10% without wollastonite were investigated. Adding did affect properties. However, simultaneous resulted improved performance properties and increased ability dissipate heat. results suggest that could resource extending timber supplies production, especially improve
