After the pressing, the fibreboardsmanufactured seemed to be
of sufficiently high quality and close to the EN standard. The
best results were found with a high loading of hydrogen peroxide
(4%) and densities above 1000 kg/m3. The high-density
range of produced straw fibreboards is above the typical
density range of MDF and should be named high-density fibreboard
(HDF). Hydrogen peroxide-activated fibreboards showed
moderate mechanical properties compared to those of glued
(UF resin) SMDF. The internal bond and bending properties,
modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticitywere acceptable.
