Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of differences in the length of time when pressing for the manufacture of particle board without adhesive from a mixture of coconut coir fiber and processed gambir leaf dregs on the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting non-adhesive particle board. The method used in this study was a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 3 replications. Data were analyzed using variance, followed by Duncan`s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at 5% level. The comparison ratio used in the manufacture of particle board without adhesive from coconut coir fiber and processed gambir waste is 60% : 40%. The treatments in this study were A (8 minutes of pressing time), B (10 minutes of pressing time), C (12 minutes of pressing time), D (14 minutes of pressing time), E (16 minutes of pressing time). carried out is a test of physical properties and mechanical properties. The results showed that the length of time of compression affected the physical and mechanical properties of the non-adhesive particleboard. The best treatment was treatment A (pressing time 8 minutes). Observation of physical properties obtained density 0.68 g/cm3, moisture content 13.42%, water absorption 132.87%, thickness swelling 66.84%, mechanical properties fracture toughness (MOR) 90.40 kg/cm2, toughness compressive parallel to the surface of 50.07 kg/cm2, and internal bond (IB) 1.45 kg/cm2.
