RESUMO

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the potencial of eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla hybrid clones wood for plywood and veneer production. Five (5) trees were collected for each clone (I and II) and 2 logs of each tree, being one from base (A) and other subsequent one (B), totaling 20 logs. The logs after debarked and heated in hot water were processed in rotary cutting lathe generating veneers of 2,00 mm nominal thickness. The peeling yield was evaluated and mean values were 51,74% from clone I logs and 56,81% from the II one. The veneer quality graded was conduced following Norma de Controle de Qualidade e Classificação de Compensados, Brazilians standards. The clone I generated veneers of better quality: 11,94% of grade A veneer; 32,84% of B; 54,48% of C and 0,75% of grade D veneer, while the clone II generated: 1,20% of grade A veneer; 8,40% of B; 67,47% of C and 22,89% of grade D veneer. 5 layers plywood was manufactured with grade C veneers. The plywood manufacture treatment factors were: clone (I and II), glue amount (320 and 360 g/m2) and press time (8 and 12 minutes). From manufacture plywood were obtained specimens to evaluate the physical properties - apparent specific mass, superficial absorption of water, total absorption of water, thickness swelling more thickness recovery and thickness recovery, and the mechanical properties - parallel and perpendicular static bending (MOR and MOE) and bonding line shear test in the dry and wet conditions. The result obtained during the physical and mechanical assessments of plywood were analyzed using a variance analysis, executed by SAS (Statistical Analysis System). There was not significant interaction among the factors clone, glue amount and press time, considering all the appraised variables. Significant differences were detected for factor clone in relation to the variables apparent specific mass (clone I higher than clone II), superficial and total absorption of water (clone I smaller than clone II); bonding line shear test (dry condition) and static bending - parallel and perpendicular MOR (clone I higher than clone II). To the factor glue amount there was not significant difference among the treatments for none of the appraised variables. There was significant difference for the factor press time in relation to the variables superficial absorption of water (12 minutes smaller than 8 minutes), thickness swelling more thickness recovery and thickness recovery (8 minutes smaller than 12 minutes). It s concluded that Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla hybrid clones wood have a high potencial for phywood and veneer production.
