Influence of wood extractives from different extraction solvents on the colour changes and mechanical properties of acacia hybrid particleboard

Effect of wood extractives towards particleboard production was less emphasized by other researchers. The aim of this study was to determine wood extractives of Acacia hybrid, and evaluate colour changes and mechanical properties of particleboard made from Acacia hybrid.
