Effect of Urea Formaldehyde Addition to the Dimensional Stability of Particle Board Made Using Glutardialdehyde Modified Corn Starch as Binder with FT-IR Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of the study was to evaluate the dimensional stability of experimental particle board panels made from rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) using modified starch as binder. Panels were manufactured using 15% corn starch modified with glutardialdehyde and 13% modified starch with 2% Urea Formaldehyde resin as improvement. The particle boards were tested for their dimensional stability towards moisture. Results found that the 2% replacement of modified starch with urea formaldehyde resin showed increment in dimensional stability compared to using glutardialdehyde modified corn starch only as the binder, recorded at 39.38 % and 23.47 % for particleboard with 0.80 g/cm3 density after exposed to 75% and 95 % relative humidity. Therefore, this study indicated that combination of modified corn starch and urea formaldehyde resin can have a potential to be used as an improved binder to produce particle board panels with accepted properties.The objective of the study was to evaluate the dimensional stability of experimental particle board panels made from rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) using modified starch as binder.
