Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) and Rice Starch as an Alternative Binder in Wood Composite Industry

Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) and Rice Starch as an Alternative Binder in Wood Composite Industry

Medium density fiberboards (MDF) was produced in laboratory using bio-adhesives synthesized using natural rubber latex (NRL) and rice starch (RS) with pressing time of 3 minutes, temperature of 180°C and pressure of 5MPa. This present study is aimed on increasing and improving the physical and mecha...
