Abstract
Equilibrium moisture content of industrial manufactured MDF and partic leboards was determined at rel. humidities between 40 and 95%. Longitu dinal and thickness swelling were recorded. Equilibrium moisture conte nt and the amount of swelling of MDF were lower than the respective va lues of particleboards. Re-conditioning of the boards revealed that MD F have a higher degree of dimensional stability.
