Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) was developed from Durio zibethinus (durian) husk using urea formaldehyde (UF) as binder. The output will be applied an automotive panel, realigning the conventional application of MDFs. Fibers were recovered husk, undersize 10 mesh screen used for board production. optimal conditions determined by different mixing ratios UF with water and varying pressing pressu...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from building and vehicle cabin materials seriously affect indoor in-cabin air quality, as well human health. Previous studies revealed that some VOCs could react with ozone to the concentration levels of environment, but seldom refers materials. In this study, we performed experimental investigation for two kinds (car carpet, sealing strip) one furnitu...

Brazil stands out internationally in the production and commercialization of wood products. Although external internal demand for these products is met by Brazilian forestry sector, challenges related to management lignocellulosic waste are evident, as country has structural difficulties sector solid management. Therefore, objective was comparatively analyze performance most abundant materials ...

Abstract Wood dust produced in medium-density fiberboard (MDF) processing is a major occupational hazard wood industry and may damage equipment. In many factories, collecting systems need to be optimized for the distributional morphological characteristics of workshop so that economical efficient control can achieved. this study, weighting, image analysis scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were...

Abstract Wood composite panels (WCP) are well known for their environmentally friendly attributes of being sustainable, renewable, biodegradable, and predominantly made from wood residues generated during lumber plywood production. This paper focuses on the ability WCPs to store carbon long periods time in nonstructural applications such as cabinets, furniture, flooring. WCPs, include particleb...
