In this study, three percentages of Urea Formaldehyde (UF) that are 8%, 10%, and 12% will be mixed with Endospermum malaccenssis wood particle. This mixed will be made a board that called particleboard after been cured by heat and pressure. The properties of particleboard will be determined by several type of test. The result shows that the percentages of resin used are affected the properties of the board. For the standard (EN 312-3 1996) is evaluate this particleboard. Just internal bonding test that reach the value that been specified.
