Within the research, other potential factors affecting properties of particleboards were also studied. Present adhesive prescriptions (1) and five experimental prescriptions were evaluated. In conclusion, optimum prescriptions were determined fulfilling the CSN EN 312 standard requirements for physical and mechanical properties of particleboards of P 2 class and a pressing factor was defined substantially affecting the rate of a production line or production productivity.
