Water DAMAGE on Kitchen Cabinets? (Plywood / MDF Ultra / MDF / Particleboard) We decide to run a water resistance test on this 4 materials used on cabinet manufacturing. (Plywood / MDF Ultra / MDF / Particleboard) We left all samples into a 5mm water plate, simulating a leak under the sink for example. After 2 hours we can see …

Are Infrared Saunas dangerous? The Truth about the EMF Dangers of infrared saunas. Join us as we discuss the scientific literature and evidence so we can dispel any confusion!

Moisture Resistant MDF sample board comparison 24 hour water test. Samples are all 12mm thick and are immersed in water for 24 hours. Both boards were the same dimensions before immersion.

Strength PropertiesStrength refers to the maximum stress that can be developedin a member due to applied loads prior to failure. Mechanical properties most commonly measured and represented as“strength properties” for design include modulus of rupturein bending, tension strength parallel-to-surface, tensionstrength perpendicular-to-surface, compression strengthparallel-to-surface, shear strength, fastener holding strength,and hardness. Strength tests are typically made on specimens at moisture equilibrium under …

Shear ModulusShear modulus, also called modulus of rigidity, indicatesthe resistance to deflection of a member caused by shearstresses. Shear stress is different from tension or compression stress in that it tends to make one side of a member slippast the other side of a member adjacent to it. There are twomain types of shear in different planes of wood-based panels: …

Elasticity implies that deformations produced by low stressbelow the proportional limit are completely recoverableafter loads are removed. When loaded to stress levels abovethe proportional limit, plastic deformation or failure occurs.Typically, the stress–strain curve for wood-based composites is linear below the proportional limit. The slope of thelinear curve is the MOE. In compression or tensile tests, thisslope is sometime referred to …

Strength properties usually reported include modulus of rupture. (MOR, bending strength), compression strength parallel to surface, tension strength parallel to … The term composite is used to describe any wood materialbonded together with adhesives. The current product mixranges from fiberboard to laminated beams and components.In this chapter, wood-based composite materials are classified into the following categories: panel products (plywood,oriented strandboard (OSB), particleboard, fiberboard,medium-density fiberboard (MDF), hardboard); structuraltimber products (glued-laminated …

For economical reasons, the veneers should be dried quickly and without damage. High temperatures shorten …

In the simplest terms, the modulus of elasticity (MOE) measures a wood’s stiffness, and is a good overall indicator of its strength. … Technically it’s a …  determining plywood mechanical properties such as bending strength and modulus of elasticity through predictive models using more-easily obtained properties is a very useful tool for in-factory quality control. Mechanical properties of wood play an important role when used for different …
