The Quality of Low Formaldehyde Emission Particleboard Made from Kenaf-Core Waste
Introduction Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L) is one of plant which has high content of lingo-cellulose and has a potential to be utilized as alternative row material for particleboard and industrial fiberboard production. Kenaf trunk with diameter of 35 mm can produce fiber with quantity of around 4.4 ton/ha and by-product in form of Kenaf-core waste around 6 -8 ton/ha. Kenaf can be grown well in rather acid soil like in turf land. Main weakness of particleboard made of Kenaf-core waste is that it has high water absorption and is very prone to expansion due to moisture. This swelling behavior can be minimizing by adding of the paraffin. Function of adding paraffin to composite product is to improve board resistance to water absorption and to improve board dimensional stability.
