The quality of raw materials for cement particle board(CPB)production,including ce-ment,wood species,and chemical additives ets.,directly affects the quality of cement particleboard.The purpose of the study is to develop a simple,fast and effective method and device in or-der to evaluate and examine adaptability of raw materials for CPB production. The results showedthat two parameters of cement-wood mixture,max. hydration temperature ΔT and time requiredfor reaching the temperature Δt could be used as an index to estimate adaptability of CPB materi-als.
