Target Density of Particle Board, kg/m3 = 800kg/m3

Volume of Particle Board, m3 = 20cm x 20cm x 1cm
= 400cm3
= 0.0004m3
Specific Density, kg/m3 = 800kg/m3
x kg
800kg/m3 =
0.0004 m 3
X = 0.32kg
= 320g
Moisture Content of Particle Board, % = 7.98%
AD−320 g
7.98% =
320 g
AD = 345.5360g
Urea Formaldehyde Resin Content, % = 10%
Amount of Urea Formaldehyde Resin Use, g = 345.5360g x 10%
= 34.55g
