Summary:ABSTRACT A filler is needed in the glue-mix to improve its properties for wood-to-wood bonding. Filler's characteristics influence the behavior of an adhesive-mix in producing the secondary bonding forces in the glueline. The properties of phenolic adhesive filled with three filler types were studied. Three factors were used in developing glue-mix for completing the adhesive behavior. They were agitation time, particle size class and drying condition. Agitation time caused glue-mix viscosities varied. A prolonged agitation time developed higher viscosity. Particle size class showed the same effect to agitation time, wherein finer particles produced higher glue-mix. Drying condition showed a different result compared to the first two factor's effect. Glue-mix viscosity was affected by filler type. Tea waste showed its more hydrophilic characteristics than kemiri shell and white clay by developing higher glue-mix viscosity.
