Suitability of Melia dubia and Eucalyptus tereticornis for Particleboard production

In this study the production of particleboard using two fast growing tree species viz., Eucalyptus tereticornis and Melia dubia Urea Formaldehyde as adhesive. This experiment was conducted in Centaury plywood industry, Chennai. The physical mechanical properties were assessed for suitability production. Based on wood, Particleboards produced (100%) raw material. Physical Mechanical both particleboards recorded. Particleboard has recorded maximum density 642 Kg/m3 with lower moisture content 5.08%, observed minimum water 2hrs (18.26%) 24hrs (51.45%) also thickness swelling 12.91%. other hand based Particle board Minimum Modulus Rupture (MOR) 12.30 N/mm2, Screw withdrawal strength load 1825Kg/m3 face 992 edge. Observed Elasticity (MOE) 2098 N/mm2 more Internal Bonding 0.36 N/mm2. From study, results clearly showed that, having good but compare these is highly suitable quality particleboards.
