Treatment of rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis)
1997 - IRG/WP 97-40081
In this study treatability of rubberwood, timber from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) was investigated by using both pressure and non-pressure methods. Samples with 4 cm by 4 cm cross section were sawn from the logs which were harvested from a plantation located in Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. Full-cell and cold soaking methods were employed using Copper Chrome Arsenate (CCA) for the experiments...

Surface Characteristics of Southern pine treated with Eastern red cedar oil
2008 - IRG/WP 08-40393
Treatment of wood with various chemicals play an important role on their surface characteristics including as roughness and hardness for further processing such as finishing and machining. The objective of this study is to evaluate surface roughness of Southern pine (Pinus taeda L.) treated with oil extracted from eastern redcedar (Juniperus viginiana L.). Both tangential and radial surfaces of...

Surface color and roughness characteristics of medium density fiberboard (MDF) panels treated with fire retardants
2008 - IRG/WP 08-40420
The objective of this study was to determine surface characteristics and color change properties of Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) treated by fire retardants (FR) with 10% concentration. Experimental panels were made using by melamine ureaformaldehyde (MUF) adhesive having 10%, 15%, 20% of melamine. The surface properties of the samples were determined using a fine stylus technique. Three roughn...
