Wood wool cement is a cheap and durable panel 

product for housing
produced from mixed indigenous wood species and cement.
The worldwide acceptance of Wood Wool Cement Board proves its versatility
and, not least important, its durability in any climatic condition. The main
characteristics are:
· Fire resistance
· Wet and dry rot resistance
· Termite and vermin resistance
· Thermal insulation
· Acoustic performance – sound absorption
· Acceptance of a wide range of finishes

The versatility of Wood Wool Cement Board (WWCB) is illustrated by the wide
range of applications worldwide. These include:
· Flat and shallow pitch roof decking
· Long span (up to 6 m) roof decking
· Walling for all types of structures
· Thermal insulation
· Acoustic ceilings
· Permanent shuttering of concrete
· Low Cost Housing

1. Curing and debarking


Mixed wood species in log form or slabs, 12-40 cm. in diameter were cut into
40 cm. log billet size and then debarked with a sharp bolo or ax.
2. Shredding
Debarked billets were converted into excelsior of 4 mm. wide and 0.4 mm.
thick through the shredder or wood wool-making machine. The shredding of
the four wood species resulted in about 90% recovery.
3. Soaking
The excelsior was immediately soaked in water continuously for two days.
Water was replaced each day to leach sugar and soluble extractives of the
wood.
4. Air-drying
The excelsior was spread out on a cement floor for air-drying. The drying of
the soaked excelsior took about one or two days depending on the thickness
of the spread.
5. Mixing
The required excelsior, cement and water, and accelerator were weighed
properly and mixed thoroughly in a drum mixer for two to three minutes.
6. Mat-forming
After mixing thoroughly, the materials were spread evenly on the 12mm. thick
marine plywood caul plates, laid with plastic and formed by placing one caul
plate over the other. For 12, 30, and 50 mm. thick boards, 10 and 7 mats were
formed per batch of pressing, respectively.
7. Cold pressing and clamping
The mats in a fabricated wood wool were pressed by three hydraulic jacks of
10-ton capacity. Each jack exerted a pressure of about 2 kg./sq. cm. Yakal
wood block thickness stoppers were used corresponding to the actual board
thickness in between the plywood plates. After pressing to the desired
thickness, the whole stack of plates was clamped with bolts.
8. Curing and conditioning
After clamping for at least 24 hours, the wood wool cement boards were piled
horizontally with two thickers in between for conditioning for three to four
weeks.
