This study investigates the potential of kenaf core (KC) as a substitute material to rubberwood (RW) for producing particleboard. RW particle were mixed with KC particle with ratio 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% produced into 700 kgm3 target density particleboard with resin content of 10% using urea formal...
