Physical and Mechanical Properties of Bamboo Particleboard
ABSTRACT
Betung bamboo particles were used as raw material in the manufacture of isocyanate particleboard. Three different treatments to raw material were control (without additive), with ceramics additive, and with paraffin additive. The target density of the board was 0.8 g/ cm3, resin content was 8%, and pressed at 35 kg/cm2 for 15 minutes at 1600C. The research results showed :
1) Generally, physical properties consist of density, moisture content, and thickness swelling were fulfill the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS 5908:2003) 2) The range of water absorption were 25-
43% for 2 hours and 54-80% for 24 hours 3) Mechanical properties consists of MOR, internal bond, and screw holding power met the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS 5908:2003), therefore this particleboard were suitable for sheathing or door filler 4) However, MOE failed, therefore this particleboards werenât suitable for construction or loading need 5) Based on this experiment, the quality of bamboo particleboard with additives better than control and the paraffin still better rather than ceramics.
