Abstract

Nowdays, there is growing interested in development of afrika wood utilization. Afrika wood is one fast growing species from plantation forest. The objective of this research was to evaluated of characterization of afrika fiber for pulp and paper production. Anatomical properties of afrika wood were also investigated. Determination of characterization of fiber dimension was conducted based on Tappi (1989). The resulted showed that afrika wood have type of porous namely soliter and radial multiple porous. The parenchyma and ray characters were paratracheal parenchyma confluent and multiseriate types. For fiber characteristic obtained by fiber length, fiber diameter, lumen diameter, and cell wall thickness were 935.33 µm, 28.52 µm, 21.29 µm, and 3.62 µm respectively. The derived value of afrika fibers obtained by runkel ratio, felting power, muhlsteph ratio, coefficient of rigidity, flexibility ratio, and fiber length were 0.43, 35.02, 20.51, 0.12, 0.76, and 935.33 µm respectively. Based on the derived value of afrika fibers, it qualifies as Grade II material for pulp and paper production. Afrika wood can be used as raw material for pulp and paper production.

Abstract

Rajumas wood is a type of fast-growing wood that is included in durable class IV-V. The availability of local wood is abundant and is commonly used in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province. This wood has a low durability class, so it needs special treatment, namely pickling. This research aims to determine the level of absorption, retention, and penetration of rajumas wood. The samples used were the core and sapwood of Rajumas wood. This research uses a cold soaking method with 1% biocide preservative with a soaking time of 12 hours, 24 hours, and 36 hours. The results showed that the TC sample (core part; soaking time 36 hours) produced the highest absorption and penetration values, 0.2035 g/cm3 and 0.3575 cm, respectively. Meanwhile, the GC sample produced the highest retention value (sapwood; soaking time 36 hours), namely 0.0090 g/cm3. These results show that the durability of rajumas wood in the heart and sapwood is relatively high at the absorption level, while the retention level tends to be low.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of yakisugi surface charring treatment on the physical and mechanical properties of Rajumas wood (Duabanga moluccana). The method involved surface burning for 0 (control), 20, 40, and 60 seconds using a butane gas torch. Tests were conducted on moisture content, density, shrinkage, water absorption, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture (MoR), and modulus of elasticity (MoE). Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD test (α = 0.05) was performed to evaluate treatment effects. The results showed that burning duration affected both physical and mechanical properties of Rajumas wood. Longer burning durations improved dimensional stability by reducing moisture content, water absorption, and swelling; however, mechanical strength (MoR and MoE) tended to decrease at 60 seconds due to partial thermal degradation of cell wall polymers. Moderate exposure (20–40 seconds) provided an optimal balance between improved stability and acceptable strength retention. This study highlights the novel application of Yakisugi to a fast-growing tropical hardwood, offering a sustainable surface modification technique for enhancing durability and performance in non-structural wood applications.
