How does bark affect the durability of laminated particleboards? NCBJ's research
Laminated particleboards are one of the most commonly used materials in the furniture industry. Their durability depends on many factors related, for example, to the near-surface layer. These include the presence of additives such as tree bark, which is sometimes used when other raw materials are not available. In their new study, researchers from NCBJ and SGGW investigated the effect of bark additives on durability and defects during the processing of boards.
