Optimization of Processing Factors for Particleboard Manufacturing Using Waste Tire Rubber Crumbs and Wood Particle

Abstract

This research aims at studying the parameters of particleboard manufacturing using waste tire rubber crumbs and wood particle, mechanical and physical properties of the composite panel according to standard JIS. A5908-2003: Particle Board. Analysis of Covariance with the cofactor (Covariance) of a piece of wood density at different levels of statistical significance (α = .05) and determine the appropriate level of mechanical and physical properties. The total amount of waste tires was composed of 5% urea-formaldehyde 13% in compression at 5 minutes, and the density of the material less than 868.88 kg/m3. Improvement of the mechanical and physical properties of a piece of particle board was to conform to the international standards.

Automotive Wastes

“…Nkosi and Muzenda (2014) provide a review of waste tire pyrolysis and the derived products. Other applications of waste tires include its use as a support material for biofilms in wastewater treatment (Naz et al, 2014), as a source of carbon black (produced from the pyrolysis of waste tires) that can be used as a high performance carbon material in lithium-ion battery anodes (Naskar et al, 2014) or electrodes (Zhi et al, 2014), as an additive in the production of particle board (Sangsai and Laemlaksakul, 2014) and as a source of oligomers for the production of polyurethane foams (Tran et al, 2014).…”

Fire Resistance Evaluation of New Wooden Composites Containing Waste Rubber from Automobiles

“…Mechanical properties of composites also depend on the weight fraction of components, the type of additives, used pressing temperature, etc. [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. By adding a synthetic polymer to the wooden matrix, some physical properties of particleboards can be improved.…”
