Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the wood veneer bonding strength on wood-based boards. Particleboard, fiberboard, and oriented strandboard have been chosen as a testing material due to their widespread usage. Radial and tangential cut veneers made of pine, beech, and oak have been glued on the surface of the boards with some adhesives such as polyvinyl acetate, ürea-formaldehyde, and contact glues. A total of 540 testing examples have been tested according to the conditions of determined in the TS 5339 standard. At the end of the tests, the highest bonding strength has been determined in the combination of radial-cut beech veneer, oriented strand- board, and ürea-formaldehyde glue as The lowest bonding strength has been determined in the combination of tangential cut beech veneer, fiberboard, and contact glue as
