Pengaruh Rasio Limbah Padat Organik dan Fiberglass Terhadap Sifat Fisis – Mekanis Papan Partikel

Abstract

This research uses organic solid waste such as mahogany leaf litter and durian skin in making particle board. The use of organic solid waste is needed by the industrial sector due to limited wood. This research aims to determine the process of making particle board using organic waste as basic materials in the form of durian skin, mahogany leaves and fiberglass, as well as to determine the physical properties, mechanical properties and microscopic properties. Particleboard made from organic waste and fiberglass is then mixed using isocyanate adhesive with a content of 10%. Pressing corresponds to a temperature of 160°C and a time of 10 minutes with a pressure of 45 kg/cm2. The research results show that the physical density properties have not met the desired target of 0.7 g/cm3 but have met the JIS A 5908-2003 standard. In the results of testing the physical properties, water absorption capacity and thickness expansion have met JIS A 5908-2003 standards. The MOE mechanical properties test results did not meet the JIS A 5908-2003 standard, while the MOR test results were only particle board which had a ratio of 50% durian to 50% fiberglass which met the standard and the internal bond test results of the particle board met the standard, namely a ratio of 100% durian.
