Abstract The depletion of log resources encourages research into alternative ways to sustain the wood supply. Therefore,
the 4-year-old Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia (RRIM) clones series, RRIM 2020 and RRIM 2025, were
chosen as potential raw materials for particleboard in this study. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects
of planting density and rubber tree clones on the mechanical and physical properties of single-layer particleboard.
The planting densities used were low, moderate-low, moderate-high, and high, representing 500, 1000, 1500, and
2000 trees/ha, respectively. Prior to manufacturing, the RRIM 2000 series clone trees were harvested, cut, chipped,
flaked,… More >
