Softboard and Hardboard
Fiberboards are usually manufactured by mechanical pulping of wood and subsequently by applying temperature and pressure either by hot pressing or drying. This project helped the company to reduce the consumption of wood considerably by partially replacing the amount of wood fibres used in the production of fibreboards with PMS and to obtain the panels at lower costs. During this work, special attention was given to study the effect of the mixture ratio of PMS and wood pulp by on board density and strength properties so as to improve the quality of the finished products, as specified in the respective Indian Standards, IS 1658:2006 for Hardboard and IS 3348:1965 for Softboard.
