Feasibility study of brown mustard (Brassica juncea (l.) Czern) plant as a raw material for manufacturing of particle board

Particle board is mostly used as alternative to wood at present age reduce the pressure on solid wood. Different raw materials, woody and non materials are particle various resins binder. Now-a-days, vegetable wastages also utilized. This study was conducted compare feasibility of using Brown Mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern) plant wastage for manufacturing particleboard. The physical mechanical properties brown mustard were tested access its quality. made from waste presents good properties. It found that density particleboard 0.836 gm/cm3, moisture content 6.95%, water absorption 37.69 %, thickness swelling 14.58 linear expansion 0.96%, Modulus Rupture 26.39 N/mm2 Elasticity 2795.64 N/mm2. compared with market boards. Therefore, it can be concluded material manufacturing.
