Construction of high-rise buildings is currently flourishing implemented that serves as an office, hall, hotel, or home. High-rise buildings in general minimize the use of construction materials that has a heavy weight to reduce the building load and achieving efficiency. One of construction parts that can be minimized weight is a wall construction. The materials of partition wall which produced are glass, gypsum, concrete and wood. This research uses of wood fiber materials from oil palm trunks which have reached the age of replanting. It is constituted by the growing oil palm plantations and palm oil mills in Indonesia so that it will also increase waste produced. This research uses experimental methods to determine the mixture of adhesive and oil palm trunk fiber (OPTF) in order to reach the standards of strength by find out the physical and mechanical properties of the partition. The result shows that using ratio 70:30 of adhesive and OPTF reach the standard partition wall that serves as partition board and decorative panel. © Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence
