PEMBUATAN PAPAN PARTIKEL (PARTICLE BOARD) DARI TANDAN KOSONG SAWIT (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) DENGAN PEREKAT LIKUIDA KULIT BATANG JAMBU BIJI

Empty Palm bunches is one of alternative raw materials in the manufacture of particle board with varying levels of Gluten Likuida Phenols Formaldehyde 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, and with pressure 16 Mpa and temperature 150oC. The Board was created with a size of 25 cm x 25 cm x 1 cm with a target density 0.7 g/cm3. This research aims to know the influence of the addition of the levels of the adhesive on the empty Palm bunches and performed tests to find out the quality of the empty Palm bunches of particle board with reference to standard JIS A 5908-2003. Of the results showed that the addition of the levels of the adhesive on the real effect against fiber moisture content particle board and influential real pressure against temperature MOR (Modulus of Rupture). From the testing that was performed eighth 0,837 gr/cm3 density, moisture content, and strong 8,67% hold screws 18.25 kg at the rate of 20% of the adhesive that has been standard JIS A 5908-2003 while the absorption of water, development of thick, elastic modulus, modulus of a broken and sticky firmness has not met internal standards.
