Abstract This research aimed to produce and evaluate particleboard with pinus waste using two production methodologies. One applied to homogeneous panels (single layer) and another to heterogeneous panels (three layers). The panels were produced with an initial density of 0.550 g/cm³, with 10% polyurethane resin derived from castor oil (PUR) for the homogeneous panels and 12% for the heterogeneous ones. The pressing parameters were 5 MPa, with a temperature of 100 ºC and 10 min of pressing, with an interval of 30 s. The tests performed according to NBR 14810-2 (ABNT, 2018) standard. As a result, it was observed that the reorganization of the particles of the heterogeneous panels added to the increase of the adhesive were factors that improved the final properties of the panels, which are classified to be used as decoration objects and in the furniture industry, not obtaining classification of homogeneous panels.

Resumo Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo produzir e avaliar painéis aglomerados com resíduo de pinus medianteuma metodologia de produçãoaplicada para painéis homogêneos e outra para heterogêneos. Os painéis homogêneos e heterogêneos foram produzidos com densidade inicial de 0,550 g/cm³ e com 10% e 12% de resina de poliuretano derivado do óleo de mamona (PUR) respectivamente. Os parâmetros de prensagem foram de 5 MPa, com temperatura de 100 ºC e 10 min de prensagem, com um intervalo de 30 s. Os ensaios realizados seguiram a normativa NBR 14810-2 (ABNT, 2018). Observou-se que a reorganização das partículas dos painéis heterogêneos somada ao aumento do adesivo foram fatores que melhoraram as propriedades finais desses painéis, classificados para ser utilizados como objetos de decoração e na indústria moveleira, enquanto os painéis homogêneos não obtiveram classificação.

ABSTRACT The growth of human consumption has caused countless inconveniences to the environment, including the inappropriate disposal of inorganic materials with a long useful life. The incorporation of potential residues in the manufacture of wood-based particleboards presents itself as an alternative to this problem. This research by objective to evaluate the effects of replacing partial of wood particles of expanded polystyrene particles bonded with mammon bean polyurethane. Wood particles (50% pine + 50% Eucalyptus) were replaced by 25 and 50% (by mass) of expanded polystyrene particles in order to improve the physical and mechanical properties of panels manufactured with 5% polyurethane adhesive based on mammon oil. Composites manufactured with 50% of polystyrene particles resulted in the best values of the evaluated physical and mechanical properties (ABNT NBR 14810 and EN 312), designating credibility to the production of panels with the partial replacement of wood particles by polystyrene particles.

RESUMO O crescimento do consumo humano tem causado inúmeros transtornos para o meio ambiente, inclusive pelo descarte inapropriado de materiais inorgânicos de longa vida útil. A incorporação de potenciais resíduos na fabricação de painéis aglomerados à base de madeira se apresenta como uma alternativa a essa problemática. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo avaliar os efeitos da substituição parcial de partículas de madeira por partículas de poliestireno expandido aglutinados com poliuretano de mamona. As partículas de madeira (50% de Pinus + 50% de Eucalipto) foram substituídas por 25 e por 50% (em massa) de partículas de poliestireno expandido visando aprimorar as propriedades físicas e mecânicas de painéis fabricados com 5% de adesivo poliuretano à base de óleo de mamona. Os compósitos fabricados com 50% de partículas de poliestireno resultaram nos melhores valores das propriedades físicas e mecânicas avaliadas (ABNT NBR 14810 e EN 312), designando credibilidade à produção de painéis com a substituição parcial de partículas de madeira por partículas de poliestireno.

Abstract The society’s development provides consequences such as the increasing generation of industrial waste. In the city of Franca, São Paulo’s inland city, there are footwear industries that generate a large amount of leather waste during their production process. In most cases, there’s no use of this waste and they’re disposed of in landfills. A reuse alternative is the production of particleboards used in construction sectors. Therefore, one of the biggest challenges is the use of this leather waste adding value to the product and enabling the production of sustainable material. This work proposes the production of particleboards from Eucalyptus wood and leather fibers using castor oil polyurethane adhesive. In addition, the assessment of the leather fiber influence on modulus of rupture and elasticity obtained from a static bending test. The study investigated the proportion of 10%, 25% e 50% leather waste in relation to Eucalyptus particles and 10% castor oil polyurethane adhesive. The mechanical performance of the panels was evaluated based on ABNT NBR 14810-1 and 2 (2013; 2018). The results allowed us to ascertain that the incorporation of 10% leather waste in particleboard rated them, according to NBR 14810-1 and 2 (2013; 2018), as structural panels of type P4 for use in dry conditions.
