stream of hot gas. Particleboards made from the pretreated
materials showed lower water absorption and lower thickness
swelling after soaking in water or after exposure to
super-saturated water vapor for 10 days than did boards
obtained from untreated materials. Both types of boards
exhibited similar strength properties.

jute-stick particle board. Bioresource Technology. 40(1):

Summary: Degraded gum, obtained from the waste liquor
after degumming of decorticated ramie with hot dilute alkali,
can replace one-third of the urea-formaldehyde resin
required for making jute-stick particleboard.

from jute stick and its lamination-a new process. Research
and Industry. 35(4): 227-229.
Summary: Production of particleboards from jute stick waste
left after extraction of fiber was investigated. The surface
lamination of the board with unsaturated polyester resin and
effect of the lamination on the physical properties of the
board were also studied.

Eastern Economic <strong>Review</strong>. 36(8): 434.
Summary: India has begun producing hard paperboard from
jute sticks at two Calcutta paper mills. The board is claimed
to be a superior quality product of high bursting strength and
folding endurance, suitable for making box boards. The
manufacture of building board from jute sticks has not yet
been considered.

Summary: A board made from about 52 percent jute stick
pulp, 44 percent wastepaper, and 4 percent hosiery cuttings
was recently developed by the Technical Research Laboratories
of the Indian Central Jute Committee at Calcutta, India.
