Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate both physical and mechanical
properties of particleboard from oil palm trunk (Elaeis guineensis ) and
Acacia mangiurn by using phenol formaldehyde adhesive. For this study,
bottom part from both species have been used and the target density was
fixed at 650kg/mJ Parameters for the study were 3 wood ratio and 3 resin
content. Type of testing such as bending strength, IB, TS and WA have been
carried out. All tested were based on European Standard (EN). All data were
collected, analysed and discussed. Panels made with 100% acacia particles
had the highest both of average MOR strength values of 11.94 Mpa and for
IB sample was 0.37 Mpa, respectively. Mixture of acacia and OPT in the
boards influenced their physical properties in both TS and WA. The worked
showed that both types of species could to be used as raw material for panel
products potentially be used.
