Absorption dryer selection

Salin compared the quality of particleboards manufactured from steam-dried versus air-dried wood particles [26] the bending and tensile strength, and water absorption properties of the former were found to be superior. This results in a 9% reduction in glue consumption in particleboard making. Optimal selection of dryer temperature and heat treatment... 

I. consist of a vehicle (resin and solvent), pigment and other additives (dryers, lubricants, defoamers etc.). The formulation is adjusted to the printing technology/equipment and to the nature of the substrate. These factors also influence the selection of the resin and the drying characteristic of the i. Drying can be accomplished by absorption or penetration into the substrate, evaporation of the solvent, oxidation by air, precipitation, e.g., by moisture set or polymerization, including UV curing and fusion (plastisol).
