520			_aFiberboard is a versatile and widely used product in various industries, including construction and furniture manufacturing. Despite the numerous applications and remarkable innovations provided by fiberboards in the construction industry, it is undoubtedly not without its flaws. Common Lantana is an invasive plant species that are widely available and may offer a more affordable and environmentally friendly option to conventional fibers. Because of their sturdy qualities, common lantana stems may strengthen the fiberboard. Using isocyanate as binder in creating this fiberboard could improve the binding strength of the fibers and make it more durable. The general objective of this study is to use Common Lantana Stem Fiber as raw material and isocyanate as binder in fiberboard. The study aims to determine the specific gravity and tensile strength of the raw material and create a suitable mix design of fiberboard made with common lantana stem fiber and isocyanate. This study also determines the physical and mechanical properties of fiberboard through Moisture Content, Density Variation, Thickness Swelling Test, Modulus of Rupture, and Internal Bond. The study also tests the acceptability of the prototype using the TUP Evaluation Instrument. The physical and mechanical tests are conducted following the Philippine National Standard (PNS). By exploring the viability of Lantana Camara Stems as fiber source, this study contributes valuable insights into the development of innovative materials that align with the fast-growing demand for ecofriendly solutions in the construction industry. This highlights a crucial step toward enhancing the resource efficiency of fiberboard products, promoting the use of alternative materials, and paving the way for future research and development in the industry.
