ABSTRACT: Wood is a basic
requirement in the industrial activity such as constructions and furniture. While
timber production decreased so that required an efficient utilization of wood.
The solution to overcome this problem is use of sago bark in the form of
composite board. Plastic is a material consisting of artificial inorganic chemicals
are quite harmful to the environment so it is necessary to increase the value
of plastic. In the process of making composite board using compatibilizer to
improve the bonding between the fibers. The study aims to determine the quality
of the composite board made from sago bark andpolypropylene plastic waste based
on addition of compatibilizer. Percentage of compatibilizer used 0%, 2,5%, and
5% of the weight of the plastic. Composite board size was 30 cm x 30 cm x 1 cm
with a target density of 0.7g/cm3 at compression 25 kg/cm2 withtemperature
180ºC for 10 minutes. Evaluation the physical properties (density, moisturecontent,thickness
swelling and water absorption ) and mechanical properties (modulus ofelasticity,
modulus of rupture, internal bonding and strong hold the screws) was conducted according
to standard JIS A 5908-2003. The result of research showed that the highest quality
of composite board was achieved on the highest addition with percentage compatibilizer
5%.
