Abstract:
Dry-formed, medium-density hardboards were made from various combinations of wastepapers separated from household trash, used pallets, dismantled railroad cars, diseased elm trees, aspen, and newsprint, using urea resin and high frequency curing. Such material has potential use for various products, particularly high quality furniture corestock. Most of the properties of the experimental boards were as good as or better than those required for medium-density matformed wood particleboard but they were not as good as those obtained on three commercial boards made by the same process. Properties of these medium-density hardboards can be improved by the addition of more resin or by increasing the density of the boards.
