PENGARUH KADAR PEREKAT UREA FORMALDEHIDA TERHADAP KUALITAS PAPAN PARTIKEL DARI KAYU GAMAL (GLIRICIDIA SEPIUM)
ABSTRACT: The stalk of the
gamal wood is one of potential raw material for manufacturing particleboard.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of urea formaldehyde
adhesives content on physical and mechanichal properties of the particleboard
and to determine the optimum urea formaldehyde adhesives content for the gamal
particleboard. Particleboard were made with size 25 cm x 25 cm x 1 cm with
density of 0,8 g/cm3. The particleboard be pressed by 1200C temperature during
8 minute with pressure 25 kg/cm2. Result showed the treatment of adhesive
content have significant influence on moisture content, water absorption,
thickness swelling, modulus of rupture (MOR) and internal bond (IB) gamal
particleboard. The optimum treatment of urea formaldehyde adhesive content is
11%.
