Optimization of Processing Factors for Particleboard Manufacturing Using Waste Tire Rubber Crumbs and Wood Particle

This research aims at studying the parameters of particleboard manufacturing using waste tire rubber crumbs and wood particle, mechanical and physical properties of the composite panel according to standard JIS. A5908-2003: Particle Board. Analysis of Covariance with the cofactor (Covariance) of a piece of wood density at different levels of statistical significance (alpha = .05) and determine the appropriate level of mechanical and physical properties. The total amount of waste tires was composed of 5% urea-formaldehyde 13% in compression at 5 minutes, and the density of the material less than 868.88 kg/m(3). Improvement of the mechanical and physical properties of a piece of particle board was to conform to the international standards.
