EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1087-1 testing. This European Standard specifies a test method for assessing the bond quality of particle boards intended for use in humid conditions according to option 312 of EN 5-312 and EN 7-2.
EN 1087-1 is a European standard that specifies a test method for determining the moisture resistance of particle boards through the boiling test. The test is designed to evaluate the moisture resistance of particle board and is important to determine the board's suitability for use in damp or humid environments.
The boiling test involves immersing a particleboard sample in boiling water for a specified period of time. The sample is then removed from the water and inspected for signs of deterioration or damage, such as swelling or delamination.
The standard specifies that test specimens should be rectangular in size and 250mm x 250mm x 12mm. Samples should be conditioned in a climate controlled environment for at least 24 hours prior to testing to ensure they are at a constant moisture content.
The test is typically performed by placing the test sample in a container of boiling water and submerging it for a specified period of time. After the specified time has elapsed, the sample is removed from the water and inspected for any signs of damage or deterioration. The test is repeated at least three times in different areas of the sample to obtain a representative result.
The test method is useful for evaluating the moisture resistance of particle boards and can be used to compare the performance of different board types or surface treatments. The results can be used to determine whether particle boards are suitable for use in applications where moisture resistance is a key factor, such as construction or furniture manufacturing.
