Resinas naturales como componente de tableros aglomerados a base de fibra de madera

Abstract

Abstract: This research explores the use of natural resins as an alternative to synthetic adhesives in the manufacture of wood fiber-based particleboard, with the aim of contributing to the development of sustainable materials for non-structural interior panel applications. The study focuses on evaluating pine resin as a binding agent, considering its natural origin, availability, and adhesive potential compared to conventional resins. This was achieved by developing composite materials with varying percentages of pine resin and wood particles (test samples). Subsequently, the physical and mechanical characterization of the samples was performed, allowing for the analysis of their behavior against common parameters used in particleboard. The results demonstrate that pine resin exhibits effective adhesion to wood fibers, meeting the functional physical and mechanical properties required for non-structural interior applications.
