<p><em>Shavings rattan waste from the rattan industry can be made into particle board which the addition of glue and hot pressing.  The various of the particle length compositions are, 100% of 1cm of size, mixture of 1cm and 3cm (50%,50%), 1cm and 5 cm (50%, 50%), 3 cm (100%), 3 cm and 5 cm (50%, 50%), and 5 cm (100%). Each of combination was added by 6% and 12% concentration of urea formaldehide glue (UF).  All of the physical and mechanical test results are fulfil the Indonesian Standard of particle board (SNI.03-2105-2006).  Those results are water content 12,36 – 12,49%, thickness increase value 12,25 – 14,15%, density 0,56 – 0,69 g/cm3, hardness 83 – 155 kg/cm2, broken strenght (MOR) 115 – 1306 kg/cm2, bending strenght (MOE) 547 – 6917 kg/cm2,  The best result for Particle  was shown in  and 6% of the glue addition.  The particle boards are classified as medium density board class which has 0,40 – 0,80 g/cm3 of density.  Base on the density chriteria and the glue, the particle board can be use for parts of interior material such as cabinets, desks, bookcase, and etc. </em></p><p><strong><em>Key wood :</em></strong><em> </em><em>particle board, rattan waste</em></p>
