| Summary: | In this study used oil palm trunk particle which obtained at Jengka plantation. Oil
palm trunk is used as a raw material in the manufacture of particleboard. Currently
there is many oil palm plantation on 2013 there is 5.23 million hectare of oil palm
plantation which register on Malaysian Palm Oil Board. In this studied
JIS(Japanese Industrial Standard).The objectives of the study is to determine the
physical and mechanical properties particleboard made from oil palm trunk and to
determine the effect of resin content (8%,10%, and 12%) and without wax addition
(0%) and wax addition (1%) on particle board properties. The higher the resin
content will produce a good particleboard, but in manufacturing to produce a high
resin content particleboard will increase the cost. In this studied found that 10%
resin content with wax addition is the best particleboard. That is because there is
only minimal significance between 10% and 12% resin content. |
