ABSTRACT

In this study the potential application of rape straw as a substitute of wood chips in the core was analyzed in boards, which core was resinated with PMDI and outer layers -resinated with PF, MUPF and PMDI. Rape straw particles were added to the outer layers at 10÷100%. As a result of conducted analyses it was found that rape straw may be an alternative material for the production of wood-based materials meeting requirements of Standard EN 312 in terms of strength and water resistance if the proportion of rape straw particles does not exceed 75% or 25%, respectively, for boards resinated in outer layers with PF and PMDI, or MUPF.

Key words: rape straw, particleboard, resins.
