Properties of Oriented Strand Boards with External Layers made of Non- Strand Chips

5DGRVáDZ0LUVNL Dorota Dziurka, and Adam Derkowski

OSB is made from chips with a large aspect ratio of quite large defined size. This requires raw materials of considerable size, which are quite costly. This article describes use of small chips (up to four times shorter than standard) in the outside layers, which increases the raw material pool from which chips suitable for OSB production can be drawn. It includes a detailed analysis of mechanical properties of the different trial materials.

The Paper Industry Technical Association (PITA) is an independent organisation which operates for the general benefit of its members – both individual and corporate – dedicated to promoting and improving the technical and scientific knowledge of those working in the UK pulp and paper industry. Formed in 1960, it serves the Industry, both manufacturers and suppliers, by providing a forum for members to meet and network; it organises visits, conferences and training seminars that cover all aspects of papermaking science. It also publishes the prestigious journal Paper Technology and the PITA Annual Review , both sent free to members, and a range of other technical publications which include conference proceedings and the acclaimed Essential Guide to Aqueous Coating .
