The objective of this research was to study influence of wood species and thickness sizes on mechanical and physical properties of binderless particleboard. The materials were manufactured into sample particleboards that have an average density 0.8 gram per centimeter3 by using a hot press machine. According to the testing results, the binderless particleboard produced from rubberwood flour (RWF) gave higher internal bond strength, modulus of rupture, water absorption and thickness swelling than the particleboard produced from oil palm trunk flour (OPTF). In addition, an increase in thickness sizes (6, 9 and 12 millimeter) of binderless particleboard resulting in the internal bond strength, water absorption and thickness swelling decreased. However, the modulus of rupture of particleboard increased with increasing thickness sizes.
