3. TRAINING AND EDUCATION
Training is an integral part of human life. Initially there was little emphasis on training in wood based panel industries in the country because the industry was manufacturing tea-chest grade plywood in a crude manner and was not capable of producing high quality or speciality plywood. However, from the beginning of the years nineteen-seventies the industry gradually became competitive in producing different grades of plywood required for various purposes and started recognizing the need for trained manpower. In recent years, human resource planning has assumed greater significance in manufacturing sector, including the wood based panel industry.
Training has been one of the important activities of this Institute from its very inception and so far approximately 1575 trainees from different backgrounds starting from executives to skilled workers in the field of Wood Science and Technology with special reference to wood, plywood, allied products and adhesive have been trained. Newer courses on processing of bamboo, product development and bamboo based housing have been added depending on requirements and changed scenario prevailing in the country. The following courses are conducted in the Institute:
a) Post-graduate Diploma in Wood and Panel Industry Technology:
During the year, 25th batch of One year Post-graduate Diploma Course on Wood and Panel Products Technology for graduates in Science and Engineering was conducted wherein all the 22 candidates completed the course successfully and 100% placement was provided through Campus selection
vi
process. Training course for 26th batch has already started and the course is in progress wherein 18 candidates are undergoing training.
b) Short term vocational training courses:Various Short term vocational training courses have been conducted during the year 2014-15 for technical personnel from industry to improve their skill in the specialized field of interest such as veneer peeling, resin manufacture, panel/sheet manufacture, testing and standardization as well as specific training in the mode of transfer of technologies. 17 training courses on Resin manufacture, Plywood Technology and saw milling and saw doctoring were conducted at IPIRTI, Bangalore and IPIRTI Field Station, Kolkata for fresh graduates and technicians from plywood factories.
4. TESTING & STANDARDIZATIONProduct testing is an important activity aiming at production of quality products by the Industry and helping consumers, including Government organizations in checking quality of goods purchased. IPIRTI is also a laboratory recognized by BIS for testing of wood and wood composites and products for licensing/certification programme. IPIRTI, Bangalore, Kolkata Field Station and Mohali Centre are recognized by BIS for testing of panel products as per relevant Indian Standards under BIS-LAB recognition scheme.

IPIRTI continues to play a significant role in designing & developing test methods and formulating standards for wood and wood based panel products, bamboo and other products made from lignocellulosic materials by serving in various committees of Bureau of Indian Standards. Scientists serve on various sectional committees and sub committees of Civil Engineering Division of BIS as conveners/members. Director, IPIRTI is the Chairman of Wood Products and Products from other Lignocellulosic Materials Sectional Committee CED: 20.
5. EXTENSIONExtension mechanism is necessary not only to carry the technology from laboratory to production units in different regions of the country, but also to create public awareness to use products from plantation timber, bamboo and other renewable fibers. It is more relevant in to-day’s context as there are more than 1000 mills producing plywood and other allied products which are scattered through out the country and over 30000 sawmills engaged in processing over 90% of the industrial wood required in the country. This has necessitated transfer of technologies to doorsteps of the Industry through effective extension.

1.1 In-House Projects (Progress Report)
1. WC/78/Panel/2009: Establishment of Pilot Scale Facilities for R & D and Training in MDF
Wood pulp fibres are gaining increasing interest within several industry sectors. From being used conventionally as the major component in the manufacturing of MDF, fibres are also being utilized as reinforcement in fiber plastic composites, bio-degradable composites. Wood pulp fibres can be manufactured by thermo-mechanical, chemithermo-mechanical and chemical pulping. Thermo-Mechanical Pulping (TMP)
disrupts the fibre wall structure mechanically. However, a successful utilization of fibres requires a comprehensive understanding of their structure and how their morphologies are affected by a given production procedure and treatment.
3
An automatic fibre size analyzer from Optest equipment Inc. Canada is installed in the Institute to study the morphology, i.e. the structural appearance of fibers i.e.: length, width, coarseness, kink, and curl.
2. WC/84/Plywood/2010: Studies on anatomical variation in plantation grown Melia dubia including selected clones of Populus deltoids and its suitability for plywood manufacturing.
The knowledge of variation in properties of wood within the tree is important not only for proper log selection and grading of the material but also for better understanding of the species to develop appropriate processing technique specially sawing, seasoning and wood working procedures. This study helps to establish a relationship between specific gravity and anatomical characteristics with tree age for better utilization of small diameter logs.
The objective of this project was to evaluate a technical feasibility of timbers for making plywood. The anatomical studies of the different clones were analyzed. The logs were peeled to study the yield and panels were made. The panels made with different clones were evaluated for its strength properties. Project work is completed.
Draft report is under preparation.
3. WC/85/PB/2010: Development of Fire Retardant Particle Board
Although many kinds of fire retardants for wood and wood-based composites have been studied, the focus still remains on compounds or mixtures containing phosphorus, nitrogen, and boron, which can be used as a water soluble solution. Keeping this in view, IPIRTI had taken up research work to develop fire retardant particle board using boron and phosphorus chemicals.
Two methods were employed for the manufacture of fire retardant particle board using melamine urea formaldehyde resin. Treating the particle or by adding chemicals in the glue. The study indicates that the addition of fire retardant chemicals upto maximum of specific percentages on the weight of the particles either in glue composition or particle treatment would give excellent fire retardant properties without deteriorating the physical and mechanical properties of the boards.
Project Completed.
4. WC/86/FR/CFS/2010 Development of Fire retardant cum Preservative Coating of Wood Based Panel Products and Bamboo Composites
Poly sulphide-Epoxy based fire retardant coating has been developed and modified by ceramic material to further improve the fire retardancy properties. Development and optimization of coating formulation has been completed. Fire retardancy test as per IS/BS specification has been carried out. It has been observed that in the presence of heat or flame the coating puffs up (intumesces) and
4
forms a thick, sponge like cellular foam layer, this foam layer insulates the substrate reducing the penetration of heat, thus retarding the flame spread and delaying structural failure. The results of fire retardancy complies with the requirement of IS:5509. Coating dries by evaporation to a tough, flexible, matte finish and does not leach (lose fire retardancy) on exposure to damp environment. Termite(grave yard test) and borer test has been carried out at IPIRTI, Kolkata for six months; however more priority was given to enhance the fire retardancy properties. Method of coating and surface preparation etc. has been optimized.
Project is completed and research report preparation is under progress.
5. NWC/91/Testing/2011: Dielectric and Electrical Properties of Wood and Bamboo Based Composite Products
The dielectric properties of wood are important design factor where wood is employed in a structure subjected to electromagnetic fields. As the studies of structural, dielectric and electrical properties become more sophisticated, other variables were considered such as temperature, structural direction and density with the results showing that these other variables also have important influence on these properties of wood. Knots, spiral grain and other defects can be detected by measuring dielectric properties. The dielectric properties of wood are useful for the understanding of molecular structure of wood, improving the drying, heating and gluing processes.
From the study It has been observed that dielectric constant (ε') and dielectric loss factor (ε") increase with increasing temperature and decrease with increasing frequency. At low temperature region, the conductivity depends significantly on the frequency. However, with the increase in temperature dielectric relaxation takes place and the dependency of the conductivity on frequency get reduced. The patterns of variation were established for the studied specimens and discrepancies were discussed.
Research Report No. 176 was published.
6. WC/92/Testing/2011: To Study the Fatigue Strength Properties of Structural grade wood panels
In various applications, materials are subjected to repeated stresses. The behavior of materials under such load conditions differs from the behavior under a static load. Material is being subjected to repeated load-cycles in actual use. As the strength properties determined by static loading do not provide any information of the material to predict its life in actual use. The study is being carried out on fatigue behavior of wood based panel products as a percentage of materials ultimate strength.
From the study, it has been observed that as the applied stress level increases, the fatigue life decreases. Failures began to occur as applied stress level reached 40% in LVL, Structural and
5
Shuttering Plywood, 45% in case of BMB because of its nature of construction (Herringbone type pattern). A faster decrease in fatigue life was observed for all materials as the applied stress level increased to 50% of the average MOR. At a stress level of 70% of the average MOR fatigue life decreased to a range of 500 to 1000 cycles.
Research Report No. 175 was published.
7. WC/94/Resin/2011: Development of PUMF Resin for Plywood
Phenol formaldehyde resin is the most commonly accepted adhesive for making Boiling water resistance plywood. The recent fluctuations on the price of phenol have led to search for all the available alternative to replace phenol or evolve a new resin system that would be economical.
PUMF resins of different molar ratios were prepared. The effects of the molar ratio of formaldehyde, phenol, urea, melamine and sodium hydroxide on performance of PUMF resin adhesive were studied. The results in laboratory scale indicate that the PUMF can be used to manufacture boiling water resistance grade of panels. Technology developed on lab scale is being upgraded on pilot scale.
8. WC/96/FR/2011: Innovative and Competitive Technology for Manufacture of Fire Retardant Wood Adhesive for Wood based Panel Products
Plywood and wood based panel products has been made by using PMUF resin with fire retardants like Tricresyl phosphate (TCP), Zirconium dihydrogen phosphate as additive during preparation of glue for manufacture of plywood. PMUF resin synthesis and composition of glue has been optimized. Fire retardancy test of plywood has been carried as per IS:5509. Data shows that test results complies with the requirement as per IS:5509. It has been observed that in the presence of heat or flame the adhesive produce substances as fire barrier and reduce combustion. Two type fire retardant adhesive resin composition has been optimized which can be used in heat contact and does not generate any toxic gas.
Fire retardancy testing as per IS:5509 has been carried and satisfactory fire retardancy properties has been achieved. More no of samples preparation is under progress to test from IPIRTI, Bangalore and IPIRTI Centre Mohali for correlation of results.
9. WC/97/Door/2011:FlushDoorwithEngineeredCoreInfill
Wood based engineered material that substitute’s sawn wood as the infill core material for the manufacture of Flush doors which brings down the volume of timber required to manufacture the door are of prime importance in the present day context. Hence this project has been taken up to develop flush door with engineered core infill which will minimize the total timber required.
6
Hollow core boards of density 610 kg/m3 have been made from poplar species using phenol formaldehyde resin. Flush door with these hollow core particle boards as infill material is scheduled to be produced shortly.
10. WC/100/Testing/ 2011: Study and Analysis of Nano Coating as Fire Retardant on Wood Panel Products
Nano coating with functional properties provide a new way to modify surface properties of wood and gain added value to wood–based products. Improvement of physical properties such as moisture, UV and absorption resistance, as well as anti-soiling of wood surfaces have been achieved with this nano coating. There is also a market for fire retardant wood products in building applications. The new method as to be developed by using nano coating which retards fire. This would give a great relief to the builders and manufactures from the safety aspects. The nano particles ensure that a crust is formed around the burning material and prevent the fire-resistant substances from evaporating too quickly.
Wood is one of the most sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally benign materials. Dry wood materials are susceptible to fire hazards and results heavy losses of life and materials every year; hence protection against fire is necessary. An attempt was made to develop a Nano coating on the surface of plywood to enhance the fire retardancy by using nano ceramic materials and chemicals. The performance of treated plywood against fire meets the requirement of relevant Indian Standards. Draft Report is under preparation
11. WC/101/Adhesive/2011: Effect of Catalyst to Achieve Lower Formaldehyde Emission Values for Wood Composites
Formaldehyde emission from Particle Board (PB) and Fibre Board (FB), especially those made with amino resin is an usual hazard associated with manufacture, storing and during use of PB. Level of emission of formaldehyde from Particle Board varies depending on the adhesive formulation and process of manufacture. Particle Board industry is one of the fastest growing panel industry throughout the world. In India also it is developing in a very fast pace.
When emission of formaldehyde is present in the air at levels at or above 0.1 ppm, acute health effects can occur. To minimize the emission levels by varying the catalyst system in amino resin is being studied in this project.
The Pilot scale trials for the manufacture of particle board were taken up. The strength properties were encouraging as per IS:3087. Evaluation of the formaldehyde emission by Chamber method is under progress.

12. WC/102/Testing/2012: Statistical data analysis on the properties of wood panels to augment the quality
Indian wood based panel industry as on today consists of 62 large and medium size mills and over 2500 small scale industries. In this 25 numbers are particle board units and 6 MDF mills and rest are plywood, block board, doors etc., Approximately 40% of these industries are adhered to the quality production as per national standards.
Unfortunately in India no primary data related to quality of wood based panels products has been generated till now, to emphasis more attention were the samples fails to pass the requirement of standards. Keeping quality is the need of the hour efforts were made to collect four years sample data from 2008-2011 received for testing at IPIRTI laboratory. Physical, Mechanical and Chemical properties of General purpose plywood, Moisture resistance (MR), Boiling water resistance (BWR), Marine Plywood, Boiling water proof grade (BWP) and Block Board MR and BWP grade were collected and analysed to prevent the production of inferior quality wood panels.
13.WC/103/Review/2012: Review of method of testing fire resistance of plywood andoptimization of test procedure
The study was undertaken to optimize method of testing fire resistance of plywood viz. flammability, flame penetration and rate of burning as given in Indian standard IS 1734 (Part 3)-1983. From the study on rate of burning test, it was observed that the 50 mm flame length and 30 mm gap between samples can be standardized. From the study on flammability test, it is observed that the test can be successfully concluded by gluing two plywood samples at each level for samples less than or equal to 9 mm thick.

First of all, the institutions under MoEF&CC which have been doing good work should look at their Institution from the perspective of others/outsiders and find out what value is attached for the works carried out. He emphasized that when involved in the research work there is likely to be a communication gap between the common people and the institutions for which strategy is to be formulated to bridge the gap so that common people understand about the benefits of Research and Development activities. Secondly, all institutions having both infrastructural facilities and rich human capital should strive hard to become self-sufficient and independent. He stressed that the institutions should set up targets to generate enough resources at least for their day-to-day activities.
He appreciated the significant R & D contributions made by IPIRTI. He also opined that IPIRTI may work out plans to promote the bamboo based housing technologies by way of constructing few houses under Govt. scheme.
