Abstract

The stick test method was used to determine wood-cement bonding compatibility of Eucalyptus camaldulensis with two brands of portland cement available in domestic market, i.e, Diamond and Elephant. Three kinds of solution excluding water were used to stimulate bonding compatibility. It was found that maximum wood-cement bonding compatibility was abcained from the specimen treated with Na2SiO3, followed by Al2 (SO4)3 and CaCl2 having the bonding forces of 540.56, 490.06, and 285.78 Newton, respectively. Bonding value gained from Elephant-brand cement was about 29% higher than that of Diamond brand. Furthermore, was recorded that wood-cement bonding value of Eucalyptus camaldulensis was superior that of Hevea brasiliensis.
