The main objective of this study was to compare the effect of thermal pre-treatment in particles of strand type with the effect of variables of production on physical-mechanical properties of OSB panels, aiming to improve their dimensional stability. The experimental design consisted on five treatments with the assessment of two temperatures of thermal treatment on particles (200 and 240°C) during 60 minutes; the increase of adhesive content, the application of paraffin in different treatments and a control treatment. For each treatment three panels with Phenol-Formaldehyde adhesive were produced. The cycle of pressing panels was: pressure of 3.5 MPa and temperature 160°C during 8 minutes. Analyzing the results of tests it was possible to conclude that: the thermal treatment of particles at 200°C promoted a negative effect on physical and mechanical properties, while thermal treatment of particles at 240°C promoted a significant improvement on physical properties and reduction of mechanical properties. The increase on adhesive content resulted in a significant improvement of WA24h, and the application of paraffin improved the WA2h and TS2h of panels, however such treatments were not so efficient on keeping the dimensional stability of OSB panels as a thermal treatment applied on particles at 240°C.

RESUMOO presente trabalho teve por objetivos determinar a densidade aparente de painéis OSB de Pinus taeda e Pinus elliottii var. elliottii × Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis pelo método gravimétrico e pela densitometria de raios X, obter os perfis densitométricos e verificar sua correlação com a propriedade mecânica de ligação interna. A densidade aparente dos painéis foi determinada pela densitometria de raios X e pelo método gravimétrico, utilizando três corpos de prova (50 × 50 mm) por tratamento. Após as determinações de densidade aparente, os 24 corpos de prova foram submetidos ao ensaio de ligação interna. O método gravimétrico aplicado na determinação da densidade aparente apresentou resultados significativamente maiores do que o método densitométrico. Verificou-se que a densidade mínima do painel, obtida pela densitometria de raios X, teve forte influência na densidade média do painel. Houve correlação entre os valores de densidade aparente dos painéis obtidos por atenuação de raios X e os resultados de ligação interna.Palavras-chave: densitometria de raios X, método gravimétrico, painéis de madeira. Relationship between Density Profile andInternal Bond of Pinus spp. OSB panels ABSTRACTThis study aimed to determine the density, by gravimetric method and X-ray densitometry, of Oriented Strand Boards (OSB) produced with Pinus taeda and Pinus elliottii var. elliottii x Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis, to obtain densitometric profiles and observe their correlation with the internal bond. The average density of the panels produced was determined by the methodology of X-ray densitometry and the gravimetric method, using 3 specimens (50 × 50 mm) per treatment. After apparent density measurement, the 24 specimens were subjected to the internal bond test. The gravimetric method applied for the determination of apparent density of the panels presented significantly higher results compared with the densitometric method. It was possible to observe that the minimum density of the board, obtained by the method of X-ray densitometry, has a strong influence on its average density. Correlation was observed between the apparent densities of the panels and the results of internal bond.
