Abstract

Sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) is a fast-growing timber species widely distributed in Indonesia. However, its dimensional instability and low surface quality have limited its widespread use. Wood modification is essential for enhancing these properties, and one effective approach is heat treatment. This study investigated the effects of different heat treatment methods and durations on color change, surface roughness, weight loss (WL), decreased density, and dimensional stability of sengon wood. The heat modification process was conducted using two methods: oven-heating and hot press-heating, with temperatures set at 200°C for durations ranging from 1 to 5 hours. The results indicated that oven-heated samples exhibited higher surface roughness, weight loss, density reduction, and dimensional stability while showing less color change than hot press-heated samples. Additionally, the hot press-heated samples displayed more significant color changes (darkening) and smoother surface roughness. WL and decreased density were also more pronounced with longer heating durations, except for the 4- and 5-hour hot press-heating treatments. Notably, oven-heated samples demonstrated higher dimensional stability than hot press-heated samples as the duration of heating increased. Based on the results, the optimal treatment varies depending on the desired product characteristics. For improved surface qualities with consideration of WL, the optimum treatment is a 2-hour hot press-heating treatment. Higher dimensional stability can be achieved through a 3-hour oven-heating treatment.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the qualities of bamboo-oriented strand board (BOSB) made from Dendrocalamus asper bamboo strands, both with and without steam treatment. Furthermore, the effect of exposure length to natural weathering on the physical and mechanical characteristics of BOSB was examined. The steam treatment lasted one hour at 126°C and a pressure of 0.14 MPa. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and paraffin were utilized as adhesives and additives, with concentrations of 5% and 1%, respectively, based on oven-dried weight. The BOSB was exposed to natural weathering in different exposure durations (0, 1, and 3 months) in Bukit Bogor Raya Pajajaran, West Java, Indonesia. Subsequently, the BOSB was tested for its physical and mechanical properties and retention value. The result showed that steam treatment improved the dimensional stability and mechanical properties of BOSB bonded with MDI adhesive more than untreated BOSB. However, steam treatment has a better protection level against natural degradation than untreated samples. These confirm that BOSB with steam treatment is a durable and sustainable construction material.
