The degradation of particleboard strength

Abstract

A number of references about the degradation of particleboard strength were reviewed. Evidences indicate that PF adhesives are hydrolytically stable and yet particleboards bonded with these resins still degrade. The main causes of degradation of PF bonded particleboard are the reversal of densification and the development of glue line stresses.
