Engineered Wood Products
(Redirected from Engineered Wood)
Basics
- Any form of wood composite, which uses cellulose, or larger wood particles and an adhesive (along with other agents if desired) to make a new product
- Has consistent properties due to this (natural variation / "grain" is removed)
- Main (relevant) ones are:
- Low-Density Fiberboard (also known as chipboard)
- Oriented Strand Board (a similar concept using thinner shavings)
- Medium-Density Fiberboard
- High-Density Fiberboard
- Masonite
- Low-Density Fiberboard (also known as chipboard)
- Also there are more paperlike materials that can technically be used as structual, or in Sandwich Panels
- Paperboard
- Containerboard (specific type used for Corrugated Fiberboard )
- Main benefit is using paper recycling, wood chips, and other waste to make useful materials
- Need to look into using rayon as the fiber source (would allow for "upgrading" or chopped up lesser quality fibers, into long continous, high quality fibers)
- Also need to look into using biologically sourced Binding Agents (thinking lignin, that one bacterial adhesive from that water bacteria (a "superadhesive"), or something else from a bioreactor/digester)
