In this study, three layers particleboards are produced from a mixture of
poppy husk (Papaver somniferum Linnaeus) and black pine wood (Pinus
nigra var. Pallasiana) at certain ratios utilizing urea formaldehyde (UF)
adhesive and hardener. Five types of 18 mm thick panels with an average
density of 0.68 g.cm-3
are manufactured with different raw material ratios
(0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%). All panels are tested for physical properties
density, moisture content and mechanical properties resistance to axial
withdrawal of screws and surface soundness of particleboards. The results
have shown that technological properties of the manufactured
particleboards, which are manufactured by using 50% and the less poppy
husk particleboards, fulfills the standard of that has been determined in
the TS EN 312. Depending on that fact manufactured particleboards can
be use furniture, interior design and construction industry. Finding this type
of a new application area for poppy husk might have the recycling
opportunity of Alkaloid factory waste which has no economical value.
