Abstract
The hydrophobing influence of binders on the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of wood and fibers is well known in the literature (Roffael und Schneider 1978, 1979). Preliminary experiments reveal, that this effect can be assessed by measuring the water retention value (WRV) of glued recycling fibers and chips.
