from three Costa Rican hardwoods (Procesamiento de

Proceedings of an International Union of Forestry Research
Organization (IUFRO) meeting; 1977 October 2-9; Merida,
Venezuela. Merida, Venezuela: Laboratroio Nacional de
Productos Forestales. 23 p.
Describes a study of three Costa Rican woods for use as
particleboard furnish. Tests conducted on the boards in-
cluded internal bond, static bending, screw withdrawal, and
linear expansion. The species used in the experiment were
ceiba (Ceiba pentandra), pilon (Hieronyma alchorneoides),
and copal (Protium costaricense). Average board proper-
ties except longitudinal expansion exceeded U.S. Commer-
cial Standard 236-66 for 1B2 grade particleboard. Board
properties tested increased with higher density and resin
content, and decreased with increasing wood density or a
change from flake particles to a flake-shavings mixture.
