Basic properties of full-size st ructural flakeboards fabricated with flakes on a shaping lathe

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Structural exterior flakeboards manufactured in 4 by 8 ft (1.22 by 2.44 m ) size with phenolic resin and flakes produced on a shaping-lathe headrig were evaluated for plate shear modulus, internal bond, bending properties, and 24-hour water soak stability. Both mixed and single species flakeboards were produced. Panels with mixed flakes had 20% by weight of hickory, white oak, red oak, sweetgum, and southern pine.
