  • Particle boards of Pinus radiata were evaluated with maize residue proportions between 0 % (control) and 30 %.
  • Boards with 5 and 10 % maize residues have properties similar to those of Pinus radiata.
  • The proportion of up to 20 % maize residues ensured regulatory and industrial compliance of boards

Abstract

Introduction: Particle board production is based on the use of sawmill and remanufacturing residues; however, the availability of this raw material has decreased significantly due to its use as biomass for firewood fuel.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of the replacement level of maize (Zea mays L.) and Pinus radiata D. Don residues on physical and mechanical board properties.
Materials and methods: Maize and P. radiata residue proportions between 0 % (control) and 30 % maize were evaluated. Urea-formaldehyde adhesive was used in proportions of 7.5 % and 9.5 % for fine and thick particles, respectively; pressing was based on industrial parameters with a thickness of 10 mm and 0.77 g∙cm-3 density. Physical and mechanical properties were determined according to particle board standards.
Results: Thickness, density, moisture, modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture were similar among maize residue proportions and met the industrial requirement. At 2 and 24 h, absorption and swelling met the industrial and regulatory requirement, except for swelling at 2 h when 30 % maize residues was used. The internal bond (IB) met the industrial requirement with all proportions, but from 20 % onwards there was a significant decrease (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Maize residue proportions between 0 and 10 % had similar performance. A proportion of up to 20 % maize provided regulatory and industrial compliance, so it has potential for the particle board industry.
