Abstract
This study focus on alternative species to produce particleboard with the targeted density of 700kg/m3. Leuceana was mix with rubberwood in order to counter depleting supply of rubberwood. The main objective of this study was to determine properties with different ratio of species and resin content to determine the strength (md durability of board. The particleboard ratio between the species (Leucaena:Rubberwood) were 30:70, 50:50, and 70:30 with 8% and 12% of urea formaldehyde resin. The modulus of elasticity, modulus of rapture, internal bond and thickness swelling of particleboards were determined according to British Standards Institution (BS EN Standard). Generally, the strength properties increase with increasing of resin content.
