“…It is commonly used as an adhesive by the forest product industries due to its desirable properties [15]. It is white in color and has a density from 1.26 to 1.27 g/cm 3 , viscosity of 300-500 cps at room temperature, pH value of 7.5-8.2, gel point (100 °C, sec) of 25 to 30, and 65% solid content [11]. UFR has numerous applications in the woodbased composite like fiberboard and particleboard industry.…”

“…e results presented in Table 3 show that any of the test boards had the required level of TS due to the minimum amount of paraffin wax in the manufacturing of tested board panels. Spring back of panels due to socking of water is the major drawback of wood composite, and it leads to less dimensional stability [11].…”

“…Up to date, bagasse is a source of energy in the sugarcane industry. However, the efficiency of bagasse for energy production (calorific value) is relatively low (discussed in Riza Wirawan et al 2011 [10] and Flores et al 2011 [11]). is condition was the driving force behind the need for enhancing the economic value of sugarcane bagasse.…”

This study evaluated the physical-mechanical properties of three-layer particleboard made from sorghum stalk and sugarcane bagasse hybrid reinforced bonded with urea-formaldehyde resin. The production of particleboards using the sorghum and bagasse particles has been established at the ratio of (25 : 50 : 75) sorghum stalk and sugarcane bagasse with urea-formaldehyde as a matrix at different concentrations (50 kg/m3, 60 kg/m3, and 70 kg/m3) and pressing pressure (18 MPa, 20 MPa, and 22 MPa) through hand mixing from 3 to 5 minutes and then hot press within a temperature range of 160°C to 180°C for 4 minutes. The particleboards were produced with their proportions through the Taguchi design of the experiment (L9) approach. The experimental results were analyzed using Taguchi design and ANOVA with a general linear model. The experimental results showed that internal bonding, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, and moisture content were significantly improved with high resin content and pressing pressure from 18 MPa to 22 MPa. The thickness swelling value also dropped where the resin concentration varies from 50 kg/m3 to 70 kg/m3 and shows better board stability. In contrast, the water absorption increased as resin content was increased. Results from ANOVA provide that SS3B1P3UFR3 (3 : 1 ratio of Sorghum with bagasse, 22 MPa of pressing load, and 70 kg/m3 urea-formaldehyde concentration) is the most optimal combination of variables for the better performance of particleboard.

“…On the other hand, the production of particleboard demands significant amounts of polymers be used as matrixes that must have excellent adhesive properties, with the aim to obtain the best quality of the product. Frequently synthetic adhesives are urea-formaldehyde (UF) (Atar et al, 2014;Lopes-Silva et al, 2014;Flores et al, 2011), phenol-formaldehyde (FF) (Kwon et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2007), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) (Petchwattana et al, 2012;Shahi et al, 2012;Zabihzadeh, 2011), low-density polyethylene (LDPE) (Ayrilmis et al, 2012;Habibi et al, 2008). Natural polymer matrixes have been used: soy protein (Ciannamea et al, 2010;Khosravi et al, 2010;Khosravi et al, 2011), starch (Amini et al, 2013;Moubarick et al, 2010;Selamat et al, 2014) and tannins (Ping et al, 2012;Tabarsa et al, 2011).…”
