Panel Uses Throw-Away

A plywood-like panel called oriented strand board using what used to be throw-away timber is slated for production in the Northeast by Elmendorf Board Corp., a holding company from California.

Made of slivers from unmarketable parts of aspen and poplar; gnarled trees from the forest floor: and useless tree tops, the product is rated by Johan Veltkamp, v.p. for forest products of Data Resources. Inc., an economic research and information firm, as the "most significant development in forest pr5ducts in l0 years."

The new process slices wood into thin slivers about three inches long and a quarter of an inch wide. These are oriented or "lined up" to run in the same direction and bonded with phenolic resin under pressure and heat.

The first commercial facilitv in the United States for producing oriented strand board is scheduled to be built in New Hampshire this fall.

Officials at plywood companies, incJuding Georgia-Pacific Corp., which also has developed a new ply- wood-like product, reportedly doubt that there will be any nearterm reduction in plywood prices by the new product. They are said to feel that when the industry gets moving it will be a lid on plywood prices rather than a depressant. Ply- wood prices have tripled in the past l0 years.

Positive Plywood Forecast

Expanding markets and new structural panel products highlight a. new five-year forecast report by the American Plywood Association. Growth in nonhousing markets wilf cushion the blow of a 1979 housing downturn that will extend into 1980. Government stimulation of the economy is expected to generate a recovery late in 1980 that will continue at a steady pace until it starts to peak out in 1983. The economic recoverv will revitalize the home building industry and, thanks to continued strons demand from nonhousing marketsl will push total structural wood panef demand to 21.2 billion sq. ft. in 1980 and nearly 24 billion by I 983.

The report also foresees a change in the pattern of industry growih during the next five years. Plywood mill construction will slow down in the South as the available timber base is more fully committed. New capacity will be added in the West to replace old and inefficient facilities now being closed in that region. The structural unveneered panel growth will center in the Midwest and Northeast, where timber is now underutilized.

Home Insulation& Tax Credits

_ Thirty percent of the people who responded to a survey dealing with attitudes about the energy crisis believe that home lnsulation is the single most eTiective way to conserve energy.

Results of the latest__phase of the Homeowners Early Wg1t1ilg Survey (HEWS) are based on the responses oT 1,000 homeowners, most of whom (987o) are ionvinced that fuel costs will continue to rise. At the same time, only 5l%o think that the energy crisis is real.

The survey, which is conducted six times a year by CertainTeed Corp., a major manufacturer of building'mate- rials, enables the company to assess attitudes of homeowners and identify trends.

The ease of d-i-y applications and the tax credit on energy-saving home improvements are the major stimulants in the home insulation market.

Significantly, l9.7Vo of the homeowners queried had added insulation to some area of their homes within the past 12 months. Of the respondents who had not insulated within the past year, 3l%o indicated that they had added some insulation prior to that time.

Most of those who insulated (73.2Vo) added insulation to their attics, while 50.4Vo concentrated their efforts on sidewalls as well. Under-floor insulation was done by 15.4Vo of the respondents.

Obviously satisfied with the results of their home insulation projects, 907o would do it again. The sampling showed that most used fiber glass insulation, did the work themselves or had it done in September and October, and cited the lowering of fuel bills as the primary reason for adding insulation.

Eighty-six percent of the respondents said they were aware of the tax credit on energy-conserving products, an increase of some eight percent ofer the numbirbf homeowners who were aware of it in December. Income tax filing and increased media attention on the energy bill are thought to have acquainted the public with the program.

Oil From Wood

(Continued from Page 39) used as a medium to produce oil from wood waste.

The process takes 90 minutes with the chips initially mixed in a water solution and combined with sodium carbonate which acts as a catalyst and sulfuric acid which reduces the wood to sugar and Particle matter. Oil results when the paste is heated and pressurized for two 45-minute periods.

Based on the current $20 market price for a ton ofwood chiPs, cost of producing the oil is estimated at $25 to $29 per barrel.
