UTILIZATION OF IJUK’S FIBER AS MATERIAL OF PARTICLE’S BOARD

Abstract

The particle board is an artificial board that uses a mixture of organic adhesives.This board is one of
alternative ways because use ijuk’s fiber as the material which mixed with plastic waste matrix of glass
mineral water. The purpose of this experiment was to compare the particle physics of the particle board,
on parameter comparison (Jappanese Standard Associaton (JIS) A 5908-2003 and Indonesian National
Standard (SNI) 03-2105-1996.The method used consisted of the process of preparation of tools and
materials, weighing matrix and ijuk’s fiber, particle printing using hotpress machine, cooling and
testing of board characteristics include density, water absorption and thickness development Based on
experimental particle board materials obtained density ranges from 0.50 - 0.90 gram / cm3, water
absorption 16.38% - 18.63% for 1: 4 and 7.76% - 13.99% for 1: 5 material comparison and thickness
development 0.00% - 8.20% for material comparison 1: 4 and 0.56% - 2.60% for 1: 5 material
comparison.
