Abstract

In order to survey of possibility of particle board production with «Acacia salicina » the effectiveness of three factor (treatment) included adhesive percentage (in two surface: %9 and %11) temperature degree ( in two surface 165^0c and 175^0c) pressing time (in three surface: 5/6 and 7 minutes) on mechanical (MOR, MOE, IB) and physical (TS₂, TS₂₄) properties were experimented with E.N standard. Therefore 36 boards were prepared for mechanical and physical tests. Data were analyzed with appropriated statistical method. Results indicate %11 adhesive, 165^0c temperature degrees and 6 minutes press time is best condition for production. However the results showed more than standard IB (1/24 Mpa ) probably due to its wood chemistry. Therefore this species could be a suitable source to produce particle board
