KARAKTERISTIK PAPAN PARTIKEL DARI BAMBU TANPA MENGGUNAKAN PEREKAT
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this
study was to analyze the phisycal and mechanical properties of binderless
particleboard using bamboo as raw materials. Andong bamboo (Gigantochloa
pseudoarundinaceae) used in this study was taken from Bogor area. Bamboo was converted
using hammer mill and air dried subsequently. The particle zise was passed of
the 20 mesh screener. Three types pretreatment were used to prepare the
particle, namely : 1) water boiling for 30 and 60 minutes, 2) oxydation using
hydrogen peroxyde, and 3) combination of water boiling for 30 minutes and
oxydation using hydrogen proxide. As a control, conventional particleboards
using 10 % melamine formaldehyde (MF) resin based on dry particle weight was
produced. The particle which has pretreated then utilized to produce binderless
particleboard with board density of 0.75 g/cm3. The pressing conditions were
180 oC in temperature, 25 kgf/cm2 in pressure for 20 minutes. The board
characteristics were tested according to JIS A 5908 2003. The results indicated
that particleboard made from particle
with oxydation pretreatment performed superior characteristics compared to
those of particleboard made from particle only with water boiling pretreatment.
Dimensional stability and modulus of elasticity of board with oxydation
pretreatment were excellent. Its was superior compared to that of conventional
particleboard using melamine formaldehyde as adhesive.
