A research was done to study the effect of particle size and resin on Kelempayan (Neolamarckia cadamba) particleboard. This research is done by using two types of resins, urea formaldehyde (UF) and phenol formaldehyde (PF), and three different sizes of wood particles (0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 2.0 mm). Mechanical properties (bending strength and internal bonding) and physical properties (water absorption and thickness swelling) were performed according to BS standard. From the study, it was shown that 0.5 mm size of wood particle and PF resin exhibit the highest strength of particleboard. |
