ABSTRACT

Within
this study the applicability of complete substitution of wood chips in the core
layer of particleboards using straw particles of an evening primrose species (Oenothera
paradoxa Hudziok) was investigated in boards resinated with UF, MUPF
and PMDI resins. Conducted investigations showed that complete replacement of
wood chips with straw particles from an evening primrose species in the core
layer of boards, irrespective of the type of the binding agent, causes a reduction
of their strength and water resistance. However, the application of an adequately
high resination rate, dependent on the type of adhesive resin, makes it possible
to manufacture boards meeting the requirements of a respective standard EN – 312.

Key words: agricultural waste, particleboards, binding agents.
