Avaliação de painéis aglomerados de Toona ciliata produzidos com diferentes densidades e teores de resina Evaluation of particleboard of Toona ciliata produced with different densities and resin levels

This study aimed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of particleboard produced of Toona ciliata with different densities and resin levels. Trees from an experimental plantation located in Corupa-SC were used. The trees were cut into logs collected and samples of all longitudinal positions were used to determine the properties of the wood and the generation of particles. Evaluation of wood properties consisted in determining the wood density and chemical properties, which followed the procedures of COPANT standards and TAPPI, respectively. The panels were produced according to a randomized design, using nominal density of 0,60 g/cm 3
