Fiberboard has become very popular with cabinetmakers that value its tight edge for easy sawing. It is found in furniture (shelves, sides, backs and front panels of cabinets) as high quality material. Being a substitute for solid wood, fiberboard can be manufactured in a wide range thickness and has little or no waste. It offers the manufacturer the ability to produce intricate detail with precise drilling, shaping and edge finishing. It also provides a smooth-surface, that is more consistent than lumber. Fiberboard is used in custom cabinetry as well as in high quality furniture because of its superior edge integrity.

а) Consumers of the forestry products.

b) Adhesives for furniture manufacture

c)Natural resource-based project.

d)The main components of wood-processing production

There are a wide range of adhesive products to meet the many and varied requirements of the furniture and wood working industries. They include polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesives, hot melts, pigmented and contact adhesives, flammable and non-flammable adhesives.

One of the most significant recent developments is a water-resistant PVA adhesive. The main advantage of the glue is fast betting times. It is suitable for bonding hard and soft woods, laminates, veneers, and foils. It dries to a transparent film and accept wood stains, polishes and lacquers. Specific setting times of the PVA adhesive will depend on temperature and humidity, bonding pressure and porosity, temperature and water content.

Hot melt adhesives are solid. They are ideal for such, applications as rapid bonding of metal frames to wooden parts of furniture. These adhesives are applied in a molten state using the electrically heated gun that provides a fast time of heating between three and five minutes. Hot melt glues have usually a long open time (between 30 and 60 seconds) for adjusting components to their final position. As the adhesive cools a strong bond develops – reaching full strength in about two minutes. No further fixing device is necessary.

Pigmented adhesives are also hot melts They are based on established grades but with the addition of pigments to meet special requirements There exist three types of pigmented hot melts:

1)Caseomelt HMR-27 is a white general purpose adhesive, with good thermal conductivity-promoting rapid melting.

2)Caseomelt HMH-29 has similar properties but is pigmented brown to match darker timbers. Like HMR-27, it has excellent flow properties making it suitable for use on a wide range of banding equipment.

3)Caseomelt HMR-28, with white pigment, has been developed to maintain good strength of bond even at high temperatures that occur in lacquer curing ovens, hot

presses and hot climates.

Contact cements represent one more type of adhesive widely used with board lamination. In this type operation, contact cement is sprayed on both surfaces: the core and the back of the laminate. This adhesive may be dispersed in water or dissolved in solvent. Solvent systems are of two types – flammable and non-flammable. Brush, roll spreader or spray coater can apply both types. More energy and time is required to dry water-based contact cements than the solvent systems.

Amount of the adhesive to be applied will depend on surface smoothness, porosity, strength required, and uniformity of application. Adhesives should be selected relative to assembly time and setting time. Faster setting times – usually mean shorter assembly times. Heavier spreads will increase assembly time, but may increase «bleed through» on porous woods. A skilled furniture maker must always consider all these points.

a)Problems of marketing of woodland products

b)Satellite monitoring of forests

c)The basics of gluing technology

d)The main factors of wood-processing production

Most good gluing techniques are simple and easy to follow. Yet, the basics are not always kept in mind. Let us look at the art of gluing, from mixing to the inspection of joints.

Glue mixing is one of the simplest jobs in the plant. However, an incorrect mix can rain several hours of production. That is why the worker must follow the given recommendations:

1)All mixing equipment must be cleaned by removing old glues from the mixer's

sides

2)The mixer blades should be placed correctly to produce a smooth homogeneous

mix.

3)The ingredients must be added in the order recommended by. the adhesive supplier.

4)Do not mix small amounts of adhesives in a large mixer.

5)Do not mix any more glue than can be used during the given operation. Most glue mixtures tend to get heavy A heavy mix is difficult to spread and may set up in the glue spreader, leading to a difficult cleaning. In addition, large quantities of unworkable adhesive will remain after the gluing process.

Like all machinery, spreading equipment requires maintenance and occasional repair. In addition, it must be set properly to give adequate spreads.

1.The spreader rolls must be checked at regular time intervals.

2.There must be always some extra rolls at hand not to lose production time while waiting for the necessary repairs.

3.The spreader must be cleaned after every shift or more of-ten if necessary. Clean spreader rolls will work more efficiently and longer.

4.The amount of the glue spread vanes with conditions and materials to be glued. Too much glue spread is not only wasteful], but can cause steam blows in hot presswork and slow setting and warpage in cold presswork. Insufficient glue spread can cause poor bonds.

Temperature must be controlled from the mixing stage up to the removal of work from the press.

1.The ideal temperature for any adhesive during the mixing and using periods is 70°F,

which, of course, is difficult to maintain throughout the year.

2.If the ingredients are too cold, they will not combine readily and the final mix may be viscous.

3.A too warm glue mix will have a short pot life

4.It is impossible to get decent results with many types of adhesives in room

temperatures well below 70°F. This is true to such adhesives as areas, epoxies and PVA.

To maintain a 70°F temperature some heaters should be instilled.

An important factor in obtaining a good bond is the time taken between spreading of glue and putting the work under pressure.

1.The limits of assembly time given by adhesive supplier should be observed carefully. Excessively long assembly time is a major cause of failure in bonding.

2.Enough glue should be spread so that squeeze out occurs when pressure is applied It is a good indication of proper assembly procedures.

3.If the squeeze out is rather hard, the work must be removed from the press.

4.If moisture content of the wood is comparatively high, press time will be longer. All those and many other factors, including machining, wood species, and employee

training, affect the success of gluing operations.

Задание 1. Прочитайте и переведите текст. Выберите заглавие, подходящее по смыслу к данному тексту

a)Use of mill residues

b)Forest use

c)Timber harvesting operations

d)Important factors of wood-processing industry

In most countries, lumber is the chief industrial forest product. According to FAO's statistics, close to 60% of the world's timber harvest for all industrial purposes, including pulpwood, veneer logs, poles, etc., is made into lumber. Moreover, about 40% of the sawmill industry's supply of raw material annually is not being turned into lumber. It is left as so-called mill residue, which may be waste or find use as a byproduct.

From a utilization point of view, it is logical to group mill residues in two different categories: wood in solid form, such as slabs, edgings, trimmings, etc., and fines, mainly in the form of sawdust and shavings. In most milling operations about 2/3 of the residue is in solid form. Fortunately, this type of residue is more easily adaptable as raw material for further conversion.

The most common utilization of slabs and edgings is as raw material for the pulping industry, where it is used in pulp for various types of craft paper.

One of the most common uses of solid mill residues today is in manufacturing various types of fiberboard. A more recent but quite promising development is the use of mill residues in the manufacture of particleboards.

While the solid forms of mill residue are being utilized as fiber, a more profitable use of sawmill fines is still in its infancy. In many areas, the bulk of the sawdust and shavings produced is discarded. Fines in various forms represent roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the total amount of mill residues. Mill residues provide an excellent type of fuel.

Most frequent uses of sawdust and shaving» today are due to their properties. With their absorbent qualities, they are widely used for livestock bedding, poultry litter, floor covering, sweeping compounds and many other applications. For its abrasive qualities, sawdust is being employed in metal polishing, cleaning soap and so on. On the basis of present techniques and equipment, mill fines are sometimes used in malting fiber manufactured products.

The lumber and the woodworking industries have taken precautions to ensure that residues can be used as raw material in other branches. The pulp and fiberboard industries, on their part, have taken steps to accept such residues to a greater degree.
