Use of cotton gin waste and urea-formaldehyde resin particleboards for the improvement of horizontal envelopes in housing
In the Argentine cotton-growing region, 30 % of the houses have horizontal enclosures consisting only of galvanized steel sheets, without any type of ceiling, which results in discomfort, excessive energy consumption, surface condensation, humidification of the envelope, fungal growth, development o...

| Sumario: | In the Argentine cotton-growing region, 30 % of the houses have horizontal enclosures consisting only of galvanized steel sheets, without any type of ceiling, which results in discomfort, excessive energy consumption, surface condensation, humidification of the envelope, fungal growth, development of chronic diseases and increased hazard associated with a high-risk area for Chagas disease.It is proposed to use, as ceilings, particleboards composed of cotton gin waste and resin, providing an alternative for the disposal of approximately 1,195,000 m3 of residue generated per campaign. The incorporation of bidirectional jute fabric was evaluated as a reinforcement.The density, flexural strength and thermal conductivity of the particleboards were determined. Thermal transmittance calculations were made for different construction typologies comparing the thermal insulation capacity for winter and summer conditions and different assembly alternatives were evaluated. |
