INTRODUCTION

• The first commercial piece was produced during World War II at a factory in Bremen, Germany

• Its inventor was Max Himmelheberof Germany

HISTORY

• Particle board has had an enormous influence on furniture design. In the early 1950s

HISTORY

• An engineered wood product manufactured from wood particles such as saw dust, wood particles, shavings and resin

DEFINITION

OF PARTICLEBOARD

• Has woody colour

• Very smooth

• Strength depend on its density, thickness, layered and adhesive used

• High moisture absorption

PROPERTIES

OF PARTICLEBOARD

• For building application

• Shuttering for concrete kitchen, bedroom and dining room furniture

• Musical instrument

USES

OF PARTICLEBOARD

• Acacia can be alternative in the making particleboard

• Acacia species is medium dense

• Acacia species also fast growing species

JUSTIFICATION

OF

STUDY

• Using acacia species can increase the production of particleboard in Malaysia

• Employment opportunities to the people in Malaysia will also increase

SIGNIFICANCE

OF

STUDY

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Acacia Species Are Chosen To Replace The Rubberwood

Usually Rubberwood Are Used To Making Particleboard, But Rubberwood Limited In

Resources

Wood Based Panel Has Been Used To Replace Solid Wood

Solid Wood Decrease And Higher In Cost

OBJECTIVEOF

STUDY

To Determine the Mechanical and Physical Properties of Particleboard Using Acacia Species

To Evaluate the Effect of Different Board Density and Resin Content on Particleboard Properties

Effect of Resin Content to Modulus of Elasticity (MOE)

Effect of Resin Content to Internal Bonding (IB)

Effect of Resin Content to Physical Properties of Particleboard

Effect of Resin to Thickness Swelling (TS)

Effect of Resin Content to Water Absorption (WA)

CONCLUSIONS

Particleboard with density more than 600kg/𝒎𝟑 and resin content more than 9% surpassed the Malaysia Standard

Board density showed significant effects all the board properties except on TS

Increasing resin content, increases all mechanical and improved the physical properties

RECOMMENDATION

Acacia Species can be used to replace rubberwood in particleboard industry

Board density more than 600kg/𝒎𝟑 and resin content exceed 9% is suitable for manufacturing of particleboard from Acacia

Malaysia should improve the forest plantation species project involving fast growing species

UF can be used in particleboard manufacturing for interior furniture
