Selected features of medium density fiberboards produced with the use of plant binder

Abstract

Selected features of medium density fiberboards produced with the use of plant binder. The aim of the research was to determine the possibility of producing dry-formed fibreboards with the use of various proportions of plant glue as a binding agent. The scope of work included the production of boards in laboratory conditions with 0%, 10%, 12%, 14%, and 20% mass fractions of plant glue and subjecting them to selected physical and mechanical tests. The results show, that the properties of the produced panels are strongly connected to the content of the plant binder (resination), and, by the proper tuning of resination, it is possible to produce dry-formed fibreboards (MDF type) with the use of plant glue that meets the requirements of proper standards.
