Fundamental Properties of Cement Board Made from Bamboo
Introduction One of wood based product type with promising advantageous is cement board. Since the very limited of wood raw material supply, there is very important to develop utilization of non wood ligno-cellulosic material as wood raw materials substitution. Development of cement board in Indonesia is very potential because of the product can be produced by utilize of wood or non wood ligno-cellulosic materials. The advantage was supported by the large capacity of cement industry that is 33 million ton per annum. Based on this comparative advantageous, development of cement board preferable to be utilization of non wood ligno-cellulosic materials like bamboo. Bamboo is considered to be prosperous alternative material because of its abundance in tropical country such as Indonesia, fast growing, and relatively easy cultivated. There are 65 species and 9 genus of bamboo in Indonesia and the plant area was estimated 700.000 ha. Many species have popular used in certain community. At South Sulawesi Province, the most popular bamboo species were ater bamboo (Gigantochloa atter) and betung bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper). Almost of this bamboo was utilized as scaffolding or non permanent construction with low economic value. To maximizing of its value added, there are very important to promote the utilization of bamboo for other purpose, like as raw materials for cement board. Since bamboo was attaining maximum size in one year old or less, we can harvest it in minimum I year old with no loss volume associated. However, for scaffolding or other purpose, there is habit in community to harvest of bamboo at 2 years old or more.
