Economic Feasibility of Implementing a Resin Distribution Measurement System for MDF Fiber
… distribution of urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin on medium density fiberboard (MDF) fiber. Two techniques were evaluated to quantitatively measure UF resin. One technique treated the resinated fiber with a reactive stain, such that the resin and wood could be distinguished and separated using digital …
