Some Mechanical and Physical Properties of Fiberboard Made from Wood Fiber and Waste Carpet-flex
Abstract
Recently, because of searching for alternative raw materials in the composite panels production; various materials and different types of wastes are widely evaluated. In this study, some mechanical and physical properties of fiberboard manufactured with beech wood fibers and waste carpet-flex were investigated. The panels were manufactured using urea formaldehyde (UF) and phenol formaldehyde (PF) adhesives. Waste carpet-flex was used as layer in the panel mat for the panel manufacturing. Modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS) values of these fiberboard panels were determined. As a result of study, it was found that the carpet-flex material and adhesive type affected the investigated properties of the fiberboard panels. The phenol formaldehyde and waste carpet flex usage improved the mechanical and physical properties of fiberboard
