Abstract

This study presents the potentiality of stem and branch particles of bhadi (Lannea coromandelica) tree as a lignocellulosic raw material for particleboard. Three types of three layer particleboard i.e., stem particleboard (SPB), branch particleboard (BPB) and stem-branch mixed particleboard (SBPB) were manufactured with 10% commercial urea formaldehyde (UF) resin. Physical properties i.e., density, moisture content (MC), water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS), Linear expansion (LE) and mechanical properties i.e., modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) of the particleboards were investigated according to the procedure of ASTM D-1037 standard. Density of SPB, BPB and SBPB were 932, 787.5 and 854.83 Kg/m, respectively. MOE of SPB, BPB and SBPB were 2714 N/mm˛, 2010 N/mm˛ and 2509 N/mm˛, respectively. MOR of SPB, PB and SBPB were 23.31 N/mm˛, 14.65 N/mm˛ and 21.85 N/mm˛, respectively. Based on the particle types and percentage of particles in the formulation, the properties of bhadi particleboard varied. Among the three types of particleboard, SPB and SBPB particleboard met the minimum ANSI A208.1 requirements of physical and mechanical properties for H-2 grade particleboard. Also it was observed that, the properties of SPB and SBPB particleboard are comparable to the properties of commercial particleboard produced in Bangladesh.
