Abstract
Unlike other composites boards such as fiberboard and particleboard, plywood is manufactured with sheets of veneers. When the plywood manufactured, the adhesive is spreaded through gluelines on each surface of veneers. For that reason, formaldehyde emission of plywood can be considered as different way. Therefore, this research was conducted to understand the formaldehyde emission pattern of plywood. To measure formaldehyde emission, four different specimen preparing methods were used. The test specimen taken by a total surface area, a given number and a total side area showed inconsistent results. On the other hand, the result of formaldehyde emission showed consistency when considered only the length of adhesive layers.
