| Summary: | Properties of hybrid particleboard from acacia mangium
and petal belalang using phenol formaldehyde resin
This study was carried out to investigate the properties of hybrid particleboard
from Acacia mangium and Petai belalang using Phenol formaldehyde resins.
The particleboard was produce from two types of species which are Acacia
mangium and Petai belalang (Leucaena leucocephala) with different resin
content (7%, 9%, and 11 %) and the ratio of the percent wood species (100,
60:40, 50:50, and 40:60 %). The experimental particleboards were tested
under two different testing conditions which are mechanical testing (MOR,
MOE and IB) and physical testing (TS and WA) in accordance Japanese
Industrial Standard (JIS A 5908:2003). In this study, the results showed, for
the ratio of the percent wood species, there were significant interactions which
had impact on all board properties and for different resin percentage only had
significant effect on thickness swelling. Particleboard from 100% Acacia
shows the highest value of MOR, MOE and IB compared with other boards.
The physical properties of 100% Acacia had the best TS and WA. In
conclusion, the properties from the particleboard made of 100% Acacia
passed all the requirement of JIS A 5908:2003. |
