Scientist 1: Applying starch in dry powder form to fiberboard production offers a simplified and potentially more cost-effective approach than using starch solutions. Direct application of the powder avoids the need for solvents and complex mixing procedures, streamlining the manufacturing process.
Scientist 2: While the dry application method seems simpler, it compromises the overall quality and performance of the final fiberboard product. Starch solutions provide better fiber coverage and adhesion, resulting in superior mechanical properties compared to dry starch application.
Scientist 1 and Scientist 2 disagree over which of the following?
Answer:
