Abstract

 


Research studied on Oriented Strand Board (OSB) by three-layer with cross grain direction results the trunk of mango, rambutan, durian, litchi and longan suitable for OSB manufactured respectively. OSB properties that specified in TISI 876-2547, JIS A 5908-2003 and BS EN 300-1997 are passed


Research studied on Oriented Strand Board (OSB) made by trunk of mango, durian, rambutan, litchi and longan produced oriented strand board by three-layer with cross grain direction. Adhesive used of phenol resorcinol formaldehyde (PRF) and Polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI) by 3 different components of 5, 7 and 9 percents based on dry weight of strand.


Trunk of mango, durian, rambutan, litchi and longan suitable for OSB manufactured respectively. The results of all experimental boards wear tested by TISI 876-2547, JIS A 5908-2003 and BS EN 300-1997 indicated that 5% pMDI are suitable for manufacturing OSB from mango, durian and litchi but at 7% pMDI from rambutan. However mango suitable for OSB 7% PRF but durian at 9% PRF. Longan didn’t suitable for OSB manufacturing.


The lowest cost of OSB that specified in industries standard made from 5% pMDI are 53.41 baht/sheet (35x35x1.0 cm.) but from 7% PRF are 58.61 baht/sheet (35x35x1.0 cm.)
