ABSTRAKHardboard dapat dibuat dari berbagai macam bahan serat berligno-selulosa. Di Indonesia dewasa ini ketersediaan bahan baku serat konvensional (khususnya kayu hutan alam tropis) untuk hardboard semakin terbatas dan langka, sedangkan produksi domestik hardboard belum dapat memenuhi kebutuhan yang ada. Bahan baku serat alternatif yang potensinya berlimpah dan belum banyak dimanfaatkan perlu diperkenalkan, diantaranya bambu. Penelitian pemanfaatan bambu sebagai bahan baku pembuatan hardboard telah dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan dua jenis bambu yaitu bambu tali (Gigantochloa apus) dan bambu ampel (Bambusa vulgaris). Masing-masing jenis bambu diolah menjadi pulp dengan proses semi-kimia soda panas terbuka. Hardboard dibuat dengan 5 proporsi campuran pulp bambu tali + bambu ampel yaitu 100%+0%, 75%+25%, 50%+50%, 25%+75%, dan 0%+100%. Tiap proporsi ditambahkan perekat tanin-resorsinol-formaldehida (TRF) sebesar 0%, 6% and 8% dari berat kering pulp. Lembaran hardboard dibentuk dengan cara basah lalu diuji sifat fisis dan mekanisnya. Hasil
The most numerous uses of hardboard are for sound-deadening barrier, insulation wall, furniture, part of electronic appliances, and vehicle interior.Nowadays, in Indonesia the availability of natural-forest woods (the conventional ligno-cellulosic fibrous raw material) for fiberboard manufacture becomes limited and scarce. Thus, non-wood alternative fibers should be considered as raw material for fiber board. In this study, experiment was done using alternative fibers which were Saccharum spontaneum grasses (SSG), empty oil-palm bunches (EOPB), and bamboo. The pulping and mat forming employed consecutively an open-hot soda semi-chemical process and wet-forming process. The additives for hardboard forming comprised wax emulsion and tannin formaldehyde (TF) adhesive.Alkali consumption in the pulping of alternative fibers (SSG, EOPB, and bamboo) for hardboard ranged about 88-99% (regarded as quite high, near 100%). SSG was the most prospective for hardboard, followed by consecutively EOPB and bamboo. Also, physical-strength properties of hardboard from SSG satisfied the JIS and ISO requirement the most. The prospective results of fiberboard manufacture from the alternative fiber materials will expectedly lessen the dependency on naturalforest woods thereby sustaining the natural resources, and alleviating environment concerns. The high alkali consumption and wet-forming implementation hinted that this fiberboard-manufacturing experiment is more suitable for small-medium scale endeavor (SME).

Di Indonesia, ketersediaan kayu hutan alam (bahan baku serat berligno-selulosa konvensional) untuk pembuatan papan serat di Indonesia semakin terbatas dan langka. Oleh karena itu bahan serat alternatif harus dipertimbangkan sebagai bahan baku papan serat. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan percobaan pembuatan papan serat (hardboard) dari bahan serat alternatif, yaitu rumput gelagah (RG), tandan kosong kelapa sawit (TKKS) dan bambu. Pengolahan pulp (pulping) dan pembentukan lembaran untuk papan serat menggunakan proses semi-kimia soda panas terbuka dengan pembentukan cara basah (wet process). Bahan aditif yang digunakan adalah emulsi lilin dan perekat tanin formaldehida (TF) Konsumsi alkali pada pulping adalah 88-99% (dianggap cukup tinggi, mendekati 100%). RG paling berprospek untuk hardboard diikuti oleh TKKS dan bambu, dan sifat fisik-kekuatan hardboard dari RG paling banyak memenuhi persyaratan JIS dan ISO. Hasil prospektif pemanfaatan serat alternatif untuk papan serat diharapkan bermanfaat mengurangi ketergantungan pada kayu hutan alam sehingga ikut melestarikan sumber daya alam. Tingginya konsumsi alkali dan penerapan cara basah berindikasi bahwa pengolahan papan serat ini lebih sesuai untuk usaha kecil menengah (UKM).Kata kunci: hardboard, bahan baku serat alternatif, hasil prospektif, melestarikan sumber daya alam, usaha kecil menengah (UKM)
Utilization of wood waste as material to produce medium density fiber-board (MDF) will help to reduce the rate of deforestation. Jabon waste (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) combined with andong (Gigantochloa pseudoarundinacea (Steudel) Widjaja) bamboo waste with 50%:50% ratio were made into MDF with the size of 30 cm x 30 cm x 1.2 cm and density 0.45 kg/m3 and 0.55 kg/m3. Activated carbon additive 4% were then added in the process. MDF durability test towards attack from Cryptotermes cynocephalus Light dry wood termite and Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgrem subterranean termites were done according to SNI 01-7207-2014. Result shows that the addition of activated carbon powder increased the MDF’s dry wood termites-durability level from IV (not-durable) to III (moderately durable). Meanwhile, adding activated carbon powder additive in MDF had not increase its durability to subterranean termites attack. The MDF durability level against soil termite stood at the same level of IV (not-durable). Improvement needs to be done for MDF made of jabon and andong bamboo mix using preservatives to increase the MDF durability level.
Indonesia's paper consumption, including wrapping paper, might steadily increase in the future and create challenge for domestic wrapping-paper production due to the dwindling potency of conventional fibrous stuffs (e.g. natural-forest woods). Alternative ligno-cellulosic fibers should be introduced, such as pioneer-tree woods potential for plantation-forest (PF), e.g. jabon and terentang; sengon PF's logging wastes; pulp/paper mill's sludge; and pineapple-leaf fibers. In relevant, trial on pulp manufacture for wrapping paper was conducted using those alternatives. Initially, each alternative-fiber was examined for their basic properties (i.e. specific gravity, chemical composition, and fiber dimensions/their derived values). The fibrous pulping employed a hot alkali semi-chemical process (except sludge). The pulp-sheet with 60 g/m basis-weight target was 2 formed from the mixture of jabon-wood pulp, terentang-wood pulp, sengon-wood pulp, sludge, and pineapple-leaf pulp (w/w) in particular proportions; then to each proportion were added additives (alum 2%, clay 5%, wax emulsion 3%, tapioca starch 4%, and rosin soap 3%); and on the resulting pulp-sheets were tested their physical, strength, and optical properties. Results revealed that the proportion regarded as the most prospective for wrapping paper comprised terentang wood pulp (20%), jabon-wood pulp (20%), sengon-wood pulp (40%), and pineapple-leaf pulp (20%). The tolerable proportion for incorporating sludge should comprise sludge (20%), terentang-wood pulp (20%), jabon-wood pulp (20%), sengon-wood pulp (20%), and pineapple-leaf pulp (20%). The presence of harmful/toxic heavy metals in the sludge which have been strongly indicated should thoroughly be accounted; and hence further experiment on their removal prior to the sludge use for wrapping paper deserves carrying out.
