Description
Summary:This project was to manufacture a combination Oriented Strand Board (OSB) from two different species. The species that have been choosen is rubberwood and kelempayan. This project purpose is to find alternatif ways to used rubberwood timber as a new materials for manufacture a product. The reason to use a combination species is to reduce the dependency to one base materials, kelempayan is the best option due to it successfull result as a base materials for many product. The objectives is to determine the properties and to evaluate the effects of resin content on the board produce by the combination of two species. Adhesive used in this project is Phenol Formaldehyde, the manipulating variables for resin content is 7%, 9% and 11%. The target density was 700 kg/m3. Standard requirement based on BS EN 300:1997. Types for OSB was OSB/4 heavy-duty load-bearing boards and for use in humid conditions.
