PARTICLEBOARD FROM OIL PALM FROND
INTRODUCTION
PARTICLEBOARD panel product made by compressing small particle of wood while simultaneously
bonding them with an adhesive. first made in Germany in1940. nine types of board that are:
1. chips 2. flake3. wafer4. sawdust5. excelsior6. sliver7. strand8. shaving 9. fiber
Particleboard can be choose to undergo either flat press or extruded press but the most popular is flat press.

PROPERTIES OF PARTICLEBOARD
CHARACTERISTIC OF PARTICLEBOARD• cheaper• denser • More uniform that conventional wood and plywood • is substituted for them when appearance• strength are less important than cost•The strength of the board will depend on;
- density- thickness- layered- graded structure- adhesive
MATERIAL
• Particle come out with different sizes by using screening machine • wood species is oil palm• particle sizes as a parameter:
- 1.0 mm- 2.0 mm
• resin that use in producing the particleboard is phenol formaldehyde.• using different concentration as a parameter:
- 7%- 9%-11%
MACHINE
•CHIPPER to chip large pieces of wood
• FLAKER for cutting into desired sizes flakes from chips as well as sliced bamboo and crushed veneer
•SCREENINGscreening the flake into differences size
•OVENfor reducing the moisture content of flake
•BALANCE balancing weight of PF and also balancing weight of particle
•PARTICLEBOARD MIXERfor mixing the particle with resin
•COLD PRESSfor reducing the thickness of particle board and consolidate the resin
•HOT PRESSfor heating and curing the resin
•ARM SAWfor trimming the edge of particle board
•TABLE SAWTo cut the particleboard for testing
•INSTRON (TESTING MACHINE)For test the bending and internal bonding
PARICLEBOARD CALCULATION
PARTICLE BOARD CALCULATION for 7% phenol formaldehyde
1. Calculate total materials required per board
Target density = 600kg/m³Thickness = 12mmLength x width = 35mm x 35mm
Material required per board= Length x Width x Thickness x Density= 35cm x 35cm x 1.2cm³ x 0.6g/cm³= 882g (at ± 10% equivalence Moisture Content)=801.8g (at oven died weight)
2. Calculated resin requiredResin content = 7%Solid content of resin = 40.2% (as given as
supplier)
Amount of liquid resin required = [ RS/SC x Wt. per board ]+ 5%
= (0.09/0.402 x 801.8) + 5%= 146.58g
3. Calculated equivalence resin content
Equivalent resin content= Liquid resin x solid content= 139.6 x 0.402= 56.12g
4. Calculate oven-dried weight of wood flakes
Wood flakes (O/D wt.)= Material wt. – resin wt.= 801.8g – 56.12g= 745.68g
5. Calculation air-dried weight of wood requiredM.C of wood = 3%
Wood (A/D wt.)= [ Wood (O/D) x (1 + MC/100) ] + 5%= 745.68 x 1.03 + 5%= 806.45g
PARTICLE BOARD CALCULATION for 9% phenol formaldehyde
Material required per board= Length x Width x Thickness x Density= 35cm x 35cm x 1.02cm³ x 0.6g/cm³
= 882g (at ± 10% equivalence Moisture Content)=801.8g (at oven died weight)
2. Calculated resin requiredResin content = 9%Solid content of resin = 40.2% (as given as supplier)
Amount of liquid resin required= [ RS/SC x Wt. per board ]+ 5%
= (0.09/0.402 x 801.8) + 5%= 188.48g
3. Calculated equivalence resin contentEquivalent resin content= Liquid resin x solid content
= 179.51 x 0.402= 72.16g
4. Calculate oven-dried weight of wood flakes
Wood flakes (O/D wt.)= Material wt. – resin wt.= 801.8g – 72.16g= 729.64g
5. Calculation air-dried weight of wood requiredM.C of wood = 3%
Wood (A/D wt.)= [ Wood (O/D) x (1 + MC/100) ] + 5%
= 729.64 x 1.03 + 5%= 789.11g
PARTICLE BOARD CALCULATION for 11% phenol formaldehyde
1. Calculate total materials required per boardTarget density = 600kg/m³Thickness = 12mmLength x width = 35mm x 35mm
Material required per board= Length x Width x Thickness x Density= 35cm x 35cm x 1.2cm³ x 0.6g/cm³= 882g (at ± 10% equivalence Moisture Content) =801.8g (at oven died weight)
2. Calculated resin requiredResin content = 11%Solid content of resin = 40.2% (as given as
supplier)
Amount of liquid resin required= [ RS/SC x Wt. per board ]+ 5%= (0.11/ 0.402 x 801.8) + 5%= 230.37g
3. Calculated equivalence resin contentEquivalent resin content = Liquid resin x solid content
= 219.40 x 0.402= 88.20g
4. Calculate oven-dried weight of wood flakesWood flakes (O/D wt.) = Material wt. – resin wt.
= 801.8g – 88.20g= 713.6g
5. Calculation air-dried weight of wood requiredM.C of wood = 3%
Wood (A/D wt.)= [ Wood (O/D) x (1 + MC/100) ] + 5%= 713.6 x 1.03 + 5%= 771.76g

PARTICLEBOARD CUTTING SECTION FOR TESTING
•MOEmeasure the resistance to bending related to stiffness of a beam
•MORThe index of the ultimate breaking strength when loaded as a simple beam
•IBfor measure the mechanical properties of the particle board.
•TSmeasurement of the physical properties of particleboard
BENDING TESTING This testing is for measure the mechanical properties of the particle board. Usually, this testing is for measure the Modulus of Rupture (MOR) and Modulus of Elasticity (MOE)
From this testing we can know the mode of failure from testing as well as for structural application requiring strength and rigidity
For this particleboard, the testing for the sample is important to determine the characteristics for overall samples.
INTERNAL BONDING
An overall measure of the board’s integrity that defines how well the core material is bonded together.
In the standard test for IB, dimension of 50mm x 50mm piece of particleboard is pulled apart with tension applied perpendicularly to both faces.
IB is influence directly by board density, resin content, particle geometry and raw material type.
THICKNESS SWELLING
These types of testing usually for measurement of the physical properties of particleboard.
The Thickness Swelling and Water Absorption test we soaked the sample to the water.
Before we soaked the sample to the water we must take the weight for Water Absorption testing and the length and diameter for Thickness Swelling testing.
