Pengawetan Kayu Karet (Hevea braziliensis MUELL Arg) Menggunakan Asam Borat (H3BO3) Dengan Metode Pengawetan Rendaman Panas Dingin
Abstrack: The objectives of
this research were to calculate the amount of retention and penetration scores
and to examine the stability of dimension and strength of rubber wood after
conserving with boric acid preservative (H3BO3). The method applied in this
research was hot and cold soaking . After a test sample was preserved with
boric acid, then its retention, penetration, and ASE scores were calculated,
and the examination of MOE and MOR was conducted eventually. In this research,
the best concentrate was gained at treated concentrate 3 % for the retention
score, penetration and ASE scores are 1.39 kg/m2, 0.89 mm, and 2.65 %. While
the highest MOE and MOR score was gained at 0% concentrate (controlled) with
17619 kg/m2 and 210 kg/m2. The retention and penetration scores increased as
the concentrate increased. But the distribution the preservative was able to
decrease the strength of wood.
