Due to development of furniture and building industries there has been a growth in companies’ demand for wood based panels, the production of which consumes, first of all, wood raw material. Acquisition and sale of wood in Poland is systematically increasing, however, a strong dynamic of industries connected with wood processing and other related fields leads to an increase in the level of deficit...
The study examined the effect of UV radiation on the colour and wettability of cedar, gaboon, meranti and Scots pine wood. The tested species of exotic wood are mainly used in European countries for facades. For this kind of usage they act as a substitute for pine wood. In the study, the colour parameters were determined using the CIE L*a*b* colour space model. The tests showed that the most significant...
An attempt to use postconsumer MDF as a raw material for the manufacture of particleboards. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of addition of mechanically grinded postconsumer MDF to the inner layer of particleboards on its properties. Three-layer particleboards with a predetermined density of 650 kg/m3 and a thickness of 16 mm and a weight fraction of MDF particles of 10, 20, 30...
The article attempts to analyze the process of plywood production of a Polish plywood manufacturer. The aim is to describe the possibility of change in the production process in order to optimize production and minimize waste. It also indicates the possibility of minimizing production costs. Costs reduction could be achieved by modernization of technology and production equipment, as well as through...
Purpose: Wood infiltrated with nano-silica hydrosol forms a “weak”, irregular composite of components bound with hydrogen bonds only. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of low-energy ions bombardment on the structure and properties of the surface of this composite. The aim of these investigations was to produce a shallow “buried” layer of a dense wood-ceramic composite on a...
