The abrasive sanding of Rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis): an industrial perspective

as a raw material for high-volume furniture production, information on its sanding properties is relatively sparse. This study was carried out to provide some fundamental understanding of the sanding properties of the material, from an industrial perspective. The results suggest that the sanding pro...

The results suggest that the sanding process is suitable for low to moderate stock removal, for it ensures optimal process economics.
