Macaranga gigantea particles were used in the manufacture of urea-formaldehyde particleboard. Three different boards densities (450, 550 and 650kgm3), 12% resin content and 1% wax content were used in the manufacture of boards. Increasing the board density resulted in an increase in the mechanical and better dimensional properties of the particleboard. Wax addition improved the dimensional stability of the particleboard. However, all particle boards failed in their thickness swelling exceeding the 8% as stipulated in the British Standards.
