Properties of Medium Density Fiberboard of Rice-straw with UF Resin
The feasibility of medium density fiberboard (MDF) manufactured from rice straw with urea formaldehyde (UF) resin was investigated and the effects of board density, resin consumption and water repellent on properties of the board were also studied. Results showed that the properties of rice straw MDF with UF resin could meet the requirement of GB/T 11718 1999 when the board density was 0.8 g/cm 3 and resin consumption equaled 17%. Thickness swelling of board was improved greatly when water repellent was added at 1.2%.
