Pengaruh Jenis Bambu serta Rasio Bambu dan Organic Solid Waste (Daun Singkong) terhadap Kualitas Papan Partikel

Abstract

One effort that can be done for efficient use of wood is to find alternative raw materials to replace wood through the utilization of waste and other wood substitute raw materials into useful products such as particle board. The demand for particle board from year to year continues to increase along with the increasing use of particle board in various sectors, especially the housing, building and furniture sectors. The purpose of this research is to analyze the process of making particle board with organic waste as the basic material in the form of cassava leaf vegetables and a mixture of bamboo powder, as well as to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of OSW boards. This research was conducted at the Forest Products Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Forestry, University of North Sumatra. The board is made by mixing raw materials and spraying with Isocyanate adhesive and then pressed with a hot press at 160°C for 10 minutes and a pressure of 40 kg/cm². From the results of the tests carried out, the board with the best physical and mechanical property test scores produced in this study was a board made of belangke bamboo with a ratio of 50/50 and the board with the worst physical and mechanical properties was the control board
