Abstract

Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a new type of wood composite, which is yet to be commercially produced in Malaysia. It is made from long, thin and narrow wood strands bonded by a synthetic resin and converted into a solid panel during the hot pressing operation. This type of board is considered as an engineered product with a great strength and dimensionally stables. This paper discusses the strength properties of OSB made from leucaena leucocephala mix to Acacia mangium (face and back use to leucaena and core with acacia mangium). The study showed that the OSB made at density about 700kg/m3 with 7% resin content comply with the minimum specification of base by the Europe Standard.
