The effect of silicone on some properties of flakeboard

Waxes are used as water repellent in wood composites, and there are only limited alternative waterrepellent systems for wood composites. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a silicone compound as a water repellent for flakeboard and to compare the properties of boards made...
