affinity for water, the reduced reactivity or the reduced bending strength, by<br />

adding silane in low amounts is the object <strong>of</strong> that study.<br />

Material <strong>and</strong> Methods<br />

Wood particles<br />

The used <strong>wood</strong> particles where obtained from the particle board plant Gütersloh<br />

belonging to the company Pfleiderer AG. The material consists <strong>of</strong> different <strong>wood</strong><br />

assortments such as the industrial junk timber like thinnings <strong>and</strong>, the forest<br />

industrial timber like trunk <strong>wood</strong> <strong>and</strong> also the recycling timber like pallets or inhouse<br />

rejections It has to be noticed that the proportion <strong>of</strong> the different timber<br />

assortments in the produced particle material is varying.<br />

Wheat protein<br />

The used wheat protein was provided by the company Cerestar, Krefeld. With a<br />

solid content <strong>of</strong> 50 % <strong>and</strong> a pH value <strong>of</strong> about 3.4 the protein is characterised.<br />

Silane<br />

The Silane used to modify different bonding agents was provided by the company<br />

Evonic Degussa GmbH, Rheinfelden. For the following study we used the silane<br />

DYNASILAN HS 1151 which is a modified amino/alkylsilan with bisamin<strong>of</strong>uncions.<br />

It has a solid content <strong>of</strong> 21 % <strong>and</strong> a ph-value <strong>of</strong> 10.5 %<br />
