Abstract: The objective of
this study is to investigate the influence of raw material from foxtail palm
and acacia wood, and adhesive concentrate of urea formaldehyde composition for
producing highquality of particle board. To compare the result quality standard
of JIS A5908-2003 is utilized.The stages of research started by selecting the
particle size, particle board mixing andformation to the test. The components
that form the particle board are acacia wood, foxtailpalm and urea
formaldehyde. It is expected the amalgam of both wood particles have density of0,7
gr/cm³. Specimens were made with the composition variation of 100% foxtail
palm, 70%foxtail palm : 30% acacia wood, 50% foxtail palm : 50% acacia wood and
with adhesiveconcentrations of 10%, 12% and 14%, those amalgams are then heated
in 140ºC by pressure of25 kg/cm³ for 10 minutes. The particle board is tested
physically and mechanically. Of thevariations in composition and adhesive
concentration, the composition of 70% foxtail palm:30% acacia wood with a
concentration of 14% was good to be used in the manufacture of foxtail palm
particle board. The foxtail palm particle board: acacia wood has an optimummodulus
of elasticity value of 12661,7347 kg/cm² and the optimum modulus of rapture of 183,4028
kg/cm². In general, foxtail palm particle board: acacia wood meets the JIS A
5908-2003 standards except the value of the MOE.
