Abstract

This study assesses the potential of cement packaging residues from building site wastes to produce particle boards. Panels with 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 g cm−3 and 15% of castor resin content were produced and its chemical, physical, mechanical and microstructural were analyzed. The results revealed that the packages have a high cement content and low lignin pulp. Furthermore, the increase in density reduced the physical properties while enhanced mechanical properties, being the 0.6 g cm−3 particleboards the only formulation with potential to produce particulates. Thus, the packaging of cement becomes an option for the manufacture of particle board.
