Mechanical Properties of Plywood From Batai (Paraserianthes Falcataria), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Pellita) and Kelempayan (Neolamarckia Cadamba) With Different Layer and Species Arrangement

Indonesia plywood production becomes the third-largest after wood particle and pulp production. However, this production is not supported by the continuous availability of wood as raw materials, so the use of less-known wood species such as mempisang wood can be considered as alternative raw materials for plywood. This study aims to develop plywood from mempisang wood and investigate the effect of glue spread on the physical and mechanical properties of plywood. The plywood consisted of three veneers glued with various glue spread of phenol-formaldehyde resin (250 g/m2, 275 g/m2, dan 300 g/m2) using single spread method. The plywood was hot-compressed at 130°C for 5 minutes with specific pressures at 10 kg/cm2. Physical-mechanical properties of plywood were carried out based on JAS 233-2003. The higher of glue spread slightly improves the physical and mechanical properties of the mempisang plywood. The Moisture Content (MC), and Shear Strength (SS) values of the plywood satisfied the requirements for the JAS 233-2003 standard. The best level of glue spread of the plywood glued with 300 g/m2 phenol-formaldehyde.

Forest covers 4.06 billion hectares (ha) or 31% of the total land area worldwide, where 93% (3.75 billion ha) are natural regenerating forests and the remaining 7% (294 million ha) are planted forests. Eucalyptus spp., being one of the most important plantation species, has been planted in 95 countries around the world, and the area of plantation has exceeded 22.57 million ha. In the southern hemisphere, it is a significant industrial fast-growing tree species. These plantations serve as a valuable resource for the timber and fibre-based industries. Eucalyptus is the main fibre resource for the pulp and paper industries in developed countries. Timber extracted from the planted eucalyptus trees has long been used for solid wood and its fibres were used for manufacturing medium-density fibreboard. In comparison to most softwood species, Eucalyptus timber is reported to have a higher rigidity, making it ideal for manufacturing structural products. Therefore, this paper presents a review and analysis of the recent state of research on the utilisation of planted eucalyptus for engineered wood products (EWPs) manufacturing. This study investigated Eucalyptus-based EWPs such as particleboard, fibreboard, oriented strand board, laminated veneer lumber, plywood, glue laminated lumber, and cross-laminated lumber. The feasibility of using planted Eucalyptus in the production of EWPs, as well as the challenges encountered, was also discussed.

The study on the mechanical properties of cross laminated timber (CLT) panels made from tropical hardwood species is essential in order to promote the use of CLT as buildings material in Malaysia. The objective of this study were to evaluate the mechanical performance and failure characteristics of CLT fabricated from tropical timbers species, namely, batai (Paraserianthes falcataria), sesendok (Endospermum malacensis), rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) and kedondong (family Burceraceae). The modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and compressive strength were determined. The failure characteristics of each samples were visually examined and recorded. The results indicated that CLT made from kedondong (KKK) had the highest value of MOR (82.63 N/mm2) and MOE (11,371.33 N/mm2) compared to other species. For compressive strength, CLT made from kedondong (KKK) and rubberwood (RRR) were not significantly different. The failure characteristics observed from bending test were tension, rolling shear and glue line failure while the crushing, shearing and splitting failure were found during compression test. Based on the results obtained, it showed that, the tropical hardwood is suitable to be used as raw material to produce CLT. However, more study should be conducted to observe the performance of CLT on durability and outdoor weathering.
