What is it about?
Cement-bonded strawboard was developed as a new siding product with desired aesthetic attributes, workability and engineering characteristics. The high extractive and wax content of straw presents important challenges to production of cement-bonded strawboard.

Why is it important?
The initial focus of this investigation is on cereal straws; regional rates of cereal crop production would thus be a key factor in locating cement-bonded strawboard manufacturing plants making value-added use of different cereal straws.
Perspectives
The complementary use of these measures contributed towards development of cement-bonded strawboards which met the standard requirements for cement-based siding products.
