Abstract

Particleboard was produced from Acacia species using different resin content (7%, 9% and 11%) and board density (500kg/m3 , 600kg/m3 and 700 kg/m3 ). The particleboard was assessed for the mechanical properties (bending and internal bonding) and physical properties (thickness swelling and water absorption) in accordance with the Malaysia Standard 1036: 2006. Mechanical properties revealed that board with higher density, 700 kg/m3 and higher resin content, 11% shows the highest value of MOR (22.08MPa), MOE (3266.47MPa) and IB (0.51MPa). While, for the physical properties, board with density, 700 kg/m3 and higher resin content of 11% had the best TS (9.82%) and WA (57.33%). Hence, particleboard from acacia with highest board density and resin content has a potential as an alternative raw material to produce particleboard and other panel product for furniture industry.
