SIFAT FISIS-MEKANIS PAPAN PARTIKEL DARI LIMBAH PEMANENAN KAYU
ABSTRACT: This research
objective was to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of
particleboard made from logging residue from plantation forest, namely akasia
(Acacia mangium) and ekaliptus (Eucalyptus sp). Type particle was sawdust and
bonded with Urea Formaldehyde (UF)-Isocyanate mix resin with ratio 100:15.
Control resin (UF) was also prepared for comparison with resin solid content
52.7%. The target thickness of particleboard was 1 cm, pressed at 25 kg/ cm2
for 15 minutes at 140 °C. Level of resin was 7% based on oven dry particle
weight. The boards were evaluated based on JIS A 5908-2003. The results
showed:1) Utilization of UF-isocyanate mix resin improved the moisture content,
thickness swelling, and water absorption of particleboard 2) The best
particleboard from physical and mechanical properties point of view was
particleboard made of akasia bonded with UF-isocyanate mix resin
