RESUMO

This work aimed at evaluating the quality of particleboards manufactured with different wood proportions (Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill. ex Maiden) and rice husk. The composites were produced in the proportions 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% of peels of rice with the use of urea-formaldehyde and tannin-formaldehyde adhesives. In order to characterize the quality of the particleboards, physical properties (specific mass; moisture content; water absorption and swelling in thickness after 2 and 24 hours), mechanical resistance (static bending; internal bonding and screw withdrawal) and xylophages resistance (Nasutitermes corniger under alimentary preference assay and decay fungi Gloeophyllum trabeum and Trametes versicolor in laboratory conditions) were evaluated. Results showed that particleboards manufactured with tannin-formaldehyde resins presented a higher quality. The increase of rice husk provided a larger instability and a smaller resistance of the particleboards. Particleboards produced with peels of rice presented a higher resistance to the attack of fungi or xylophages termites. Particleboards glued with tannin-formaldehyde were more resistant to the attack of termites; for the fungi, the difference among adhesives happened when these particleboards were submitted to the attack of Gloeophyllum trabeum, and the particleboards produced with urea-formaldehyde were the most resistant. In the fungi, Trametes versicolor was the fungus that provided the largest mass loss to the particleboards.
