Abstract

The properties of particleboard produced from oil palm trunk particles, Elaeis guineensis using phenol formaldehyde were studied. The influences of different particle sizes (1.0mm and 2.0 mm), resin content (7%, 9% and 11 %) and target board densities (500 kg/m3, 600 kg/m3 and 700 kg/m3) were studied. The particleboard was tested for the physical and mechanical properties using the European standard. Increasing particle size would increase the mechanical and decrease the physical properties of the oil palm particleboard. The increasing in board density would increase the mechanical and decrease the physical properties of the oil palm particleboard. The increasing in resin content in the board would increase the mechanical and decrease the physical properties of the oil palm particleboard.
