RESUMO

Wood-based panels have been widely used around the world in various segments of timber industry. Thus, alternative raw-materials have been systematically researched in order to reduce of wood demand in particleboard production. The aim of this work was to produce and evaluate particleboards of Eucalyptus grandis and oat hulls (Avena sativa), bonded under pressure with castor oil based polyurethane resin, in the proportion of 10% relative to the dry mass of the particles. The percentages of particles used per material were: Eucalyptus grandis 100, 85, 70 e 0% and oat hulls 0, 15, 30 e 100%, respectively. Physical-mechanical performance of the panels produced was evaluated based on standards ABNT NBR 14810:2006[1] and BS EN 312:2003[2]. By analysis of variance (ANOVA), the fraction of particles of Eucalyptus grandis was significant only in the modulus of rupture (MOR) in static bending. Panels produced with 100% oat hulls presented highest value of MOR.
