Analysis Physical and Mechanical Of Particle Boards Raw Materials Nipah Fruit Fiber

Abstract

The raw materials of the timber industry, especially furniture, are increasingly difficult to obtain in the quantity and quality needed. The development efforts carried out were utilizing Nipah coir waste as a raw material for making particle boards. Particle boards are panel boards made of wood particles or materials containing lignocellulose. Nipah plants contain 27.3% lignin and 36.5% cellulose which has the potential to be used as raw material for particleboard production. This study aims to reveal the physical and mechanical properties of particleboards made from Nipah fruit fibre with adhesive using tapioca flour. The making of particle board is done with a ratio of 90%: 10%, 80%: 20%, 70%: 30%, 60%: 40%, by giving a pressure of 100 kg / cm2. Particle testing is carried out according to the JIS A 5908 standard (2003). From this study, the optimum results were obtained in variations of 60%:40%. The particle physical properties which have an average density value of 1.15 gr / cm3 and an average moisture content of 5.8%. While the mechanical properties obtained by the value of Modulus of Elasticity an average of 21,188.93 kg / cm2. This shows the particle board variations of 60%: 40% produced to meet the JIS A 5908 (2003) standard. Based on the analysis of the quality variations 60%: 40% of particle boards can be recommended as raw materials for interior furniture.

Experimental Investigation on the Effects of Coffee Husk Ash as Partial Replacement of Cement on Concrete Properties

“…e prepared samples were demolded after 24 hrs and immersed to water for curing. en, compressive strength test was conducted as per ASTM C-109 at different curing ages (3,7,28,56, and 91 days).…”

“…erefore, there is a need to change cement production practices in order to reduce CO 2 emissions, extensive use of natural resources, as well as lowering overall construction costs through reduced cement consumption and utilization of wastes as partial replacement of cement. In addition to cement replacement, based on the testing and research carried out on wood wastes such as particleboards made from fiber and bagasse with adhesive, optimum results have been obtained, and they can be utilized as raw material [6,7]. e use of environmentfriendly materials is an integral part of the modern cement production process, and it has contributed substantially to recycling of residue and CO 2 reduction.…”

The investigation of physical dan mechanical properties of Nipah-based particle board

“…addition of 40% tapioca adhesive. The strength of Nipah-based particleboard was influenced by the concentration and the type of adhesive used within the particleboard [15], [21]. Based on the results obtained, Nipah-based particleboard with a variation of 60:40 (40% tapioca concentration) can be used as a raw material for interior furniture, particularly for furniture that is not exposed to water or humid environments.…”

“…The information on the characteristics of the produced particleboard will be used as a reference for the furniture industry in using particleboard made from Nipah Palm fiber. Previous research reported that Nipah-based particleboard was successfully made by using tapioca as an adhesive in a ratio of 60:40 [15]. It was found that particleboard made from Nipah Palm fiber with tapioca adhesive have a density of 1.15 g/cm³, a moisture content of 5.8%, and swelling in thickness after immersion in water of 4.43% [16].…”

Physical and Mechanical Characteristics of Natural Adhesives in the Preparation of Composite Boards from Coconut Fiber as an Effort to Address Environmental Issues

“…In addition, increasing starch adhesive significantly increase the MOE of the fiberboards. According to Saddikin et al (2019), the greater the adhesive usage, the stronger the strength of the boards. It was reported that increasing the amount of adhesives led to denser bonding between the materials, consequently maximizing the overall strength of the boards.…”
