There are large rape growing areas in southern and south western China so that it is very meaningful in making particleboard from rape stalk,which to ease the lacking of wood material.Experiment results showed that mechanical and physical properties of the board were able to meet the demand of GB/T 4897—92.But conventional manufacturing technology of particleboard had to be adjusted and improved because physical and chemical characteristics of rape stalk were different from that of wood material,such as,pH value and buffer capacity of the rape stalk were higher than that of wood.Technology of tackling with the side effects derived from the raw material was also developed.
