Abstract

Alined wood particles and an adhesive binder comprise the faces of a sandwiched, laminate-like structure formed in a one-step pressing and heating operation, the interior of which is made of randomly oriented wood particles and an adhesive binder, exhibiting light weight and greater bending strength than known particleboards constructed from heavy hardwoods such as red oak.
