Fabrication of Hydrophobic Particle Board from Waste Coir Pith and Rice Husk Ash
In the present days research, maximum focus is being given in the generation of any valuable product from waste material. With special concern for environment and forest, in the present research an attempt is being made to provide an alternative material to serve the need for wood, timber or wood grade material. Along with fabrication of wood grade material here, an attempt has been made to prepare a hydrophobic particle board, which could resist the moisture and water attack. For developing the water resistivity, rice husk ash is used as the additive material. Rice husk ash is generated from raw rice husk, disposed as a waste material during rice cultivation.
