A Preliminary Evaluation of the Flexural Properties of Wood Veneer Laminated Cement-Bonded Particleboard from Tropical Hardwood Species

INTRODUCTION

Wood-cement bonded particleboard, was originally invented in Germany about eight decades ago. Since then it has been gaining acceptance in many parts of the world as a sheet element or the building construction-industry. The" interest in the board can be associated with a number of factors. It is highly resistant to flre, insect aud fungal attack and has excellent weather ability and good accoustic insulation properties (Deppe,1974; Dinwoodie, 1978;1981). With respect to the aforementioned properties, the board is superior to the conventional resin bonded particleboard; Thus, the cement board is being applied to complement resin boards in areas, where adverse weather conditions and fire preclude the use of the latter. The cement board is also more favoured than the resin board by having one of its principal raw material; namely cement; locallyt available in most countries and by the fact its manufacture is more easily adapted to a relatively small plants.p
