Comparison of Properties of Pine Scrim Lumber Made from Modified Scrim

Leng, Weiqi 12 May 2012 (has links)
In this study southern pine scrim was treated with low molecular weight melamine formaldehyde (MF), phenolic formaldehyde (PF), and furfuryl alcohol (FA) at different loadings and formed into 25-mm thick panels. Mechanical, dimensional and biological properties were evaluated. Results showed that samples treated with 5 percent MF had the highest MOE, MOR and work to maximum load values (15.3 GPa, 54.2 MPa and 25.4 KJ/m3, respectively), while those treated with 10 percent MF had the highest internal bond and edgewise toughness values of 390 kPa and 12 N•m, respectively. With respect to dimensional stability, samples treated with 20 percent FA had the lowest swelling value (ASE = 36.8 percent), and the lowest water absorption value (27.5 percent). Dynamic swelling test revealed much higher ASE value (> 45 percent) for furfurylated samples. As for termite resistance, both untreated and treated samples had little weight loss (1.10-1.56 percent), high visual rating (8-9.3/10), and 100 percent mortality in laboratory test.
