Characterising Gluing Properties of Lodgepole Pine Containing Beetle-Transmitted Bluestain

摘要

In the article,with the instruments of the Research Institute of Wood Industry,Chinese Academy of Forestry,the experiment method of Forintek Canada Corp.was used to test the laminating of lodgepole pine containing beetle-transmitted bluestain;finally the result was compared with Canada report.The results show that the presence of glue joints of bluestained wood made with either PVA or PRF adhesive makes no difference to the shear strength of the joints,and no difference to durability of the joints using PRF.Also the presence of beetle-transmitted bluestain in wood does not affect the adherence of the interior finishes tested.
