- Abstract
Application of beeswax as a hydrophobic agent in MDF technology. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using beeswax as a hydrophobic agent in MDF board technology. In scope of the work, dry-formed fibreboards in four variants of wax content were produced under laboratory conditions: 0; 0.5; 1 and 5%, and boards with 1% of industrial hydrophobic agent. Produced boards were tested for selected physical and mechanical properties. Obtained results proved that beeswax can be used as a sterling hydrophobic agent. Furthermore, the tests confirmed an improvement in mechanical properties after the application of beeswax.
