“…Water absorption ranged between 66.30% and 79.53% with small differences between the boards within all groups. Similar results on TS and WA were reported by Wang (2003) and Rebollar (2007) for commercial OSB boards. It seems that group C was the most unfavorable in terms of dimensional stability, whereas an increase with about 11% and 17% was registered for TS and WA, respectively.…”

The Influence of Speed and Press Factor on Oriented Strand Board Performance in Continuous Press

et al. 2014

a Three-layer cross-oriented strand boards, OSB type 3 of 10 mm thick, were industrially manufactured from a mixture of wood species including 50% softwoods, 25% beech, and 25% low hardwoods, using a continuous press line. The effects of line speed and press factor on physical and mechanical properties of OSB/3 (exterior grade) were evaluated, keeping nearly constant the face-core adhesive ratio. The manufactured boards were classified into five groups depending on the pressing parameters. The experimental results showed that all mechanical properties increased, with increasing press factor and decreasing line speed. The ratios of bending strength (MOR) and the modulus of elasticity (MOE) parallel to perpendicular were 1.73 to 1.89 and 2.18 to 2.24, respectively. No significant differences in thickness swell and water absorption were observed. The lowest density was achieved at higher speed, although there was no large variation in densities between groups. Thickness swelling and internal bond after boil test exceeded the EN 300 standard requirements for OSB/3 moisture resistance, excepting a few boards. The results revealed that a correlation between speed and press factor is necessary in order to improve mechanical properties and to keep the physical performance of boards within a limited range of values.

“…Few studies have reported data derived from commercially tested OSB board concerning their mechanical properties and behavior under different conditions (Thomas 2001;Wang et al 2003Wang et al , 2004Rebollar et al 2007;Hrázskýand Král 2011). Data directly obtained from industrially pressed boards are limited.…”

“…The two main types of panels used in furniture are particle boards and medium-density fibreboards (MDF). Of these the European furniture industry consumes 55% of total production (Barbu 2011, Buehlmann et al 2000, Carlsson-Aubry and Castronovo 2008, Eurostat 2012a, FAO 2008, Rebollar et al 2007, UNECE/FAO 2011.…”

Wood-based panels, produced from primary processing of raw timber, are a major input for furniture. Both industries form an important production chain in Europe's forest-based sector and face on-going structural changes induced mainly by technological innovation, expansion and relocation in the context of a growing global competition. In an exploratory shift-share analysis, the study investigates these changes and their effects on employment in the two interconnected industries across the European countries from 1999 to 2007. The results reveal opposite growth trends in Western and Eastern countries, as well as dynamic restructuring processes especially in the Eastern industries. Western countries lose employees on a large scale for the sake of new emerging jobs in Eastern countries, however on a smaller scale. The major shifts are induced by widespread outsourcing, relocation and downsizing trends and it can be shown that the regional availability of skilled, low cost labour and raw wood material represent the key locational factors in the wood-based panel and furniture industries. The study highlights regions where wood-based panel and furniture industries in neighbouring Western and Eastern countries clearly interact. The findings of cross-regional employment shifts can help to inform regional policies for sustainable development of Europe's forest-based sector from a macroeconomic and social perspective.Délocalisations régionales de l'emploi dans les industries de panneau en bois et d'ameublement européens. T. OSSES, U. KIES et A. SCHULTELe panneau en bois, fabriqué dans la première transformation du bois brut, représente un produit de base important pour l'ameublement. Les deux industries constituent une chaine de production importante dans la filière forêt-bois en Europe et sont confrontées avec un changement des structures majeur entrainée par l'innovation technologique, expansion et délocalisation dans un contexte de compétition mondiale en croissance. A travers d'une analyse 'shift-share' de ce pair d'industries dans le pays européens pendant la période de 1999 à 2007, l'étude examine ces changements et leurs effets sur l'emploi. Les résultats montrent des tendances de croissance opposées dans les pays d'ouest et d'est, et aussi un processus de restructuration dynamique en particulier dans les pays d'est. Les pays d'ouest perdent de l'emploi à grande échelle pendant que de nouvel emploi émerge dans les pays d'est, mais à une échelle moins importante. Les plus grandes délocalisations sont déclenchées par des tendances répandues en externalisation, déplacements des usines et dégraissage des effectifs. Les résultats démontrent que la disponibilité de la main-d'oeuvre qualifiée à bas prix et de la matière première en bois représentent les facteurs clé de localisation dans les industries de panneau en bois et d'ameublement. L'étude fait ressortir des régions où les deux industries interagissent entre des pays voisins d'ouest et d'est. Ces résultats concernant les délocalisations interrégionales de l'emploi pe...

“…The remarkable development in manufacturing practices of these systems has resulted in mechanical properties of commercial OSB that make them suitable for a wide range of applications. The construction industry (e.g., wall sheathing, roof panels, subfloors, single layer floors, structural insulated panels, floor joints, or rim boards), packaging, and the furniture sector are among the major application areas of OSB.…”

The primary goal of this work was to develop a novel adhesive technology platform for oriented strand board (OSB) using waste animal protein extracts, as feedstock. In this research, a hazardous animal processing waste was thermally hydrolyzed, and the proteinaceous fractions were recovered and modified into an adhesive. The adhesive developed as such was formulated for OSB adhesion applications, and the OSB performance was also evaluated. Performance results showed that the OSB specimens made with up to 60% by weight of protein hydrolyzate based adhesive met the Canadian Standard Association (CSA O437.0-93) requirements for commercial applications. Based on the intermediate moisture resistance results observed, the recommended use of these boards could be for relatively low moisture environments.
