Fiberboard, self-heating

Forest products industries know that temperature increases in piles of sawdust and bark. In pulp and paper mills, self-heating develops in amassed tree chips. Paper rolls stacked hot tend to self-heat, as occasionally do stored bales of waste paper. The wood-base panel products particleboard, hardboard, and fiberboard self-heat after being stacked too hot in the factory. Where in structures the framing lumber, wood-base panels, and lignocellulosic insulation is heated by items such as steam pipes, temperatures tend to rise above that of the heat source. [Pg.430]

Among lignocellulosic panel products, fiberboard (called fiber insulation board in earlier decades) seems to have caused more fires than the denser products hardboard, particleboard, and plywood. Fiberboard self-heats more because it conducts less of the generated heat out of the... [Pg.437]
