PENGARUH TEKANAN PADA PROSES IN DIES SINTERING TERHADAP KARAKTERISTIK LIMBAH PLASTIK KEMASAN ALUMINIUM FOIL

Aluminium foil waste is potential alternative for becomes the new material of particle board. This research aimed to investigate the pressure effect on the particle board characteristics made of recycled aluminium foil. In this study, In Dies Sintering was implemented by applying temperature of 220oC furnace and 2 hours holding time. The pressure was varied at 0.211, 0.423, 0.634 and 0.845 bar. To determine the feasibility of particle board were some parameters such as, density, flexural strength, and perpendicular strength testing based on SNI 03-2104-2006 standard were carried out. The result showed that the density, flexural strength, and perpendicular strength meet with requirements of SNI 03-2104-2006 standart which were 0.669 – 0.904 gr/cm3, 14.474 – 25.626 MPa, and 0.112 – 0.166 MPa, respectively. Meanwhile, the test of modulus of elasticity did not meet with requirements in the SNI 03-2104-2006 standard which was 0.514 – 0.943 GPa. Hence, aluminium foil particle board was expected for the new construction material
