Abstract

Three-layer or heterogeneous particleboard made of different particles for face and core layer. Fines particles were practically used for face layer and coarse particles used for core layer. This study aim to determine the mechanical and physical behavior of three layers particleboard made from oil palm fronds (OPF) as source of raw material and phenol formaldehyde (PF) used as bonding agent. Two different size were used in this study for face layers which were 0.5 and 1.0 mm while core layer with 2.0 mm particle size. The resin content for face layers were used at 11% throughout study and core layer used at 3 different contents, which were 7, 9 and 11%. The result indicated that increasing in particle size on surface layer insignificantly affected both mechanical and physical properties. However, increasing in resin content on core layer directly improve the physical properties of particleboard.
