The researchers formulated five mix ratios (97:3, 95:5. 93:7, 91:9, and 89:11) with a board dimension of 40cm x 40cm x 1.2cm and a target density of 0.80 g/cm3 to evaluate the mechanical and physical properties of the boards, specifically Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Internal Bond Strength (IB), and Density Variation (DV), respectively, adhering to PNS ISO 16893:2017 specifically P-GP REG for Dry Conditions. The results revealed that Mix 3 (93:7) achieved the highest MOR value of 19.41 MPa, mix 5 (89:11) had the highest value of 1.25 MPa in IB and only Mixes 3 (93:7), 4 (91:9), and 5 (89:11) fall within the ±10% standard deviation of the target density of 0.80 g/cm3. This research investigates the potential of moringa oleifera fruit pod (MOFP) as an eco-friendly alternative for particleboard production. Using the TUP Evaluation Instrument, the evaluation resulted with an overall mean of 3.92 with a descriptive rating of "Very Acceptable". Based on the evaluation and findings, this study can be used for general uses and veneer grade, and for constructing partitions, paving the way for sustainable innovations in the wood panel industry.

The study explores the development of particleboard using moringa oleifera fruit pod
(MOFP) as a raw material and isocyanate (pMDI) resin as a binder. The researchers
formulated five mix ratios (97:3, 95:5. 93:7, 91:9, and 89:11) with a board dimension of
40cm x 40cm x 1.2cm and a target density of 0.80 g/cm3 to evaluate the mechanical and
physical properties of the boards, specifically Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Internal Bond
Strength (IB), and Density Variation (DV), respectively, adhering to PNS ISO 16893:2017
specifically P-GP REG for Dry Conditions. The results revealed that Mix 3 (93:7) achieved
the highest MOR value of 19.41 MPa, mix 5 (89:11) had the highest value of 1.25 MPa in
IB and only Mixes 3 (93:7), 4 (91:9), and 5 (89:11) fall within the ±10% standard deviation
of the target density of 0.80 g/cm3. This research investigates the potential of moringa
oleifera fruit pod (MOFP) as an eco-friendly alternative for particleboard production.
Using the TUP Evaluation Instrument, the evaluation resulted with an overall mean of 3.92
with a descriptive rating of "Very Acceptable". Based on the evaluation and findings, this
study can be used for general uses and veneer grade, and for constructing partitions, paving
the way for sustainable innovations in the wood panel industry.
