Good Day! 

I am John Vincent Rivera, a current student in one of the universities here in Bacolod. My team is currently researching about the the potential of the oriented strandboard (OSB) made from natural phenolic adhesive and sugarcane as a substitute for current wooden boards currently available in the market. In line with this, I would like to request for the Standard Tests  conducted to oriented strandboard that are currently used in your institution to tell whether an OSB meets certain standard properties for commercial use. Thank you so much and I am looking forward to your response.
