Abstract
The use of bamboo in the production of particleboard has been gaining ground as well as other agroindustrial waste, both present a promising alternative for the development of more sustainable materials. This research aims to evaluate the physical properties of particleboard, composed of bamboo particles species Dendrocalamus giganteus and coffee husks particles in the core layer, joined by a castor oil based polyurethane resin. Physical characterization was performed based on the Brazilian Standard [1]. The physical properties of density, moisture content, water absorption during 24 hours and thickness swelling during 24 hours were evaluated. The results were compared with the Brazilian standard [1] and it was concluded that from the evaluated properties, this panel can be used commercially.
