APLIKASI ASAP CAIR DARI KAYU LABAN (Vitex pubescens Vahl) UNTUK PENGAWETAN KAYU KARET
Abstract: The objective of
research was to evaluation the effect of application of liquid smoke from Vitex
pubescens Vahl wood to rubber wood to inhibit the subterranean termites
Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren attack and to determine the level of
concentration and optimum pyrolysis temperature of liquid smoke from Vitex
pubescens Vahl wood to rubber wood to inhibit subterranean termites Coptotermes
curvignathus Holmgren attack. The parameter of research was retention of liquid
smoke to wood, termite mortality and weight loss rubber wood. The results
showed that the highest retention of liquid smoke found at a concentration of
15% with a pyrolysis temperature of 400oC i.e. 0.0245 g/cm3. Mortality of
termites in concentration of liquid smoke 10% with a pyrolisis temperature of
400oC resulted the highest mortality, i.e. 100% while the lowest weight loss of
rubber wood was achieve on concentration of liquid smoke 15% with a pyrolysis
temperature of 450oC i.e. 18.69%.
