Abstract

These research were to known the particle pretreatment on the durability properties of particleboard on termites attack. The variation of particle pretreatment in this research were done by soaking the particle in hot water (1,2 and 3 hours) and cold water (24, 48 and 72 hours). The particle board was made from oil palm trunk using of phenol formaldehyde adhesive with size 30 cm x 30 cm x 1 cm and density target of 0.7 g/cm3. Particle board will be test by grave yard test along 100 days for durability from termites attack and will be compared by Indonesia National Standard (SNI) 01-7202-2006. The result showed that the weight loss of particle board values were 38.63-88.11%. Based on termites attack level, it was classified as very low durability.Keywords : oil palm trunk, phenol formaldehyde adhesive, particle board, subterranean termite.

Abstract

The waste of oil palm trunk could be used as alternative raw material for particleboard. The purpose of these studies were to evaluate durability of particleboard on termites attack. Particle pretreatment were done by hot water soaking (1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours) and cold water soaking (24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours). Particle board were made from waste of oil pulm trunk using urea formaldehida of 10% with size 30 cm x 30 cm x 1 cm, density target 0.75 g/cm3, pressure 25 kg/cm2 at 130ÂșC of temperature for 10 minutes. Particleboard was tested for durability of particleboard on termites attack by grave yard test along 100 days and wil be compared by SNI 01-7207-2006.The percentages of particleboard weight loss were 41.05-60.29%. Based on the termites attack rate, all of particleboards were classified as very bad durability. The best of particleboards durability was the board with cold water soaking for 72 hours treatment with 41.05% of particleboard weight loss.Keywords : oil palm trunk, urea formaldehida, particle pretreatment, particle board, subterranean termites.
