Obtenção de propriedades de corpos de prova confeccionados com resíduo de papel melamínico

Abstract

Many industrial processes presents problems derived from the great amount of solid residues generated. Thus, the objective of this paper is to incorporate the Melamine Paper residue, originated from the MDF industry, in the manufacturing of panels and panel-like objects, to be used as ornaments, workmanship and environment designs. In order to do so, proof-bodies were made using the Melamine Paper as raw-material and then put under physical and mechanical tests to better understand its properties, comparing the results with the properties of MDF panels and other composites. The material presented satisfactory compaction, enduring high compression loads, good hardness, and low water affinity.
