Summary: The study aims to provide technical solutions due to problems identified in particleboard, such as the high toxicity of adhesive glue and wood scarcity, which leads to the expensive cost of material, poor physical properties, and product unavailability in local markets. The perceived solution was replacing wood with Ipil-ipil pods as one of the most abundant materials bonded without obnoxious chemicals such as phenol- formaldehyde resin to reduce material cost with better physical properties and promote wood preservation. The study has two sets of mixed designs varying in particle dimension and resin content to assess the effects on the overall performance of particleboard. Specimens were produced through the hot-pressed process using the hydraulic machine at 150°C within 6 and 10 minutes, then cured for three days and tested following PNS 230:1989 and ASTM D1037-12 specifications. Test results showed that smaller pods dimension with higher resin content has better quality outcomes. 15:85 and 20:80 were the appropriate mix designs as they exceeded the minimum requirement of Face Screw Holding, indicating that it has an excellent screw holding capacity, better physical properties than the standard board due to high resistance to water absorption, and minimal thickness swelling. The prototype was evaluated by 20 evaluators composed of licensed civil engineers, TUP-Lopez faculty, safety officers, skilled worker, and CT/CE students. It was rated 4.69 with a descriptive rating, "excellent," which signifies that Ipil-ipil pods and phenol formaldehyde resin can be a viable alternative in producing Type 100 particleboard with further study to enhance the mechanical properties.

The study aims to provide technical solutions due to problems identified in particleboard, such as the high toxicity of adhesive glue and wood scarcity, which leads to the
expensive cost of material, poor physical properties, and product unavailability in local
markets. The perceived solution was replacing wood with Ipil-ipil pods as one of the

most abundant materials bonded without obnoxious chemicals such as phenol-
formaldehyde resin to reduce material cost with better physical properties and promote

wood preservation. The study has two sets of mixed designs varying in particle
dimension and resin content to assess the effects on the overall performance of
particleboard. Specimens were produced through the hot-pressed process using the
hydraulic machine at 150°C within 6 and 10 minutes, then cured for three days and tested
following PNS 230:1989 and ASTM D1037-12 specifications. Test results showed that
smaller pods dimension with higher resin content has better quality outcomes. 15:85 and
20:80 were the appropriate mix designs as they exceeded the minimum requirement of
Face Screw Holding, indicating that it has an excellent screw holding capacity, better
physical properties than the standard board due to high resistance to water absorption, and minimal thickness swelling. The prototype was evaluated by 20 evaluators composed
of licensed civil engineers, TUP-Lopez faculty, safety officers, skilled worker, and
CT/CE students. It was rated 4.69 with a descriptive rating, "excellent," which signifies
that Ipil-ipil pods and phenol formaldehyde resin can be a viable alternative in producing
Type 100 particleboard with further study to enhance the mechanical properties.
