Painel em Madeira de Reflorestamento e Chapas de Partículas para Instalações Rurais

Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop a panel in reforestation wood and particleboards of sugarcane bagasse and bi-component polyurethane resin on castor oil basis, as an alternative for the conventional system of side closing of the working chute in cattle handling facilities. The physical-mechanical characterization of the material provided an indication of the possible uses for this product, that associated with eucalyptus rounded pillars compose the structural modular system. The impact resistance evaluation of the modular system, which tried to simulate the effect produced by the animals under working condition, demonstrated the efficiency of the structural model proposed for use in cattle handling facilities.
