The mechanical and physical properties of impregnation oil palm trunk lumber OPTL using modified phenol formaldehyde PF resin as matrix were investigated. OPTL were produced at different resin loading varied from 5 0.1 0.15 20 and 25. The kiln-dried moisture content 15 oil palm trunk was injected with phenol formaldehyde resin using vacuum impregnation method. The mechanical test Tensile flexure and impact test was analyzed. Water absorption and Scanning Electron Microscope SEM were also studied. The result showed that the value of mechanical properties of OPTL was increased with the increased of resin loading from 5 to 25. Whereas the water absorption properties of OPTL improved as the resin loading increased. Mechanisms behind this increment were discussed. The result obtained were compared with untreated OPT and rubberwood. Scanning Calorimetry Microscope SEM

Abstract

The mechanical and physical properties of impregnation oil palm trunk lumber OPTL using modified phenol formaldehyde PF resin as matrix were investigated. OPTL were produced at different resin loading varied from 5 0.1 0.15 20 and 25. The kiln-dried moisture content 15 oil palm trunk was injected with phenol formaldehyde resin using vacuum impregnation method. The mechanical test Tensile flexure and impact test was analyzed. Water absorption and Scanning Electron Microscope SEM were also studied. The result showed that the value of mechanical properties of OPTL was increased with the increased of resin loading from 5 to 25. Whereas the water absorption properties of OPTL improved as the resin loading increased. Mechanisms behind this increment were discussed. The result obtained were compared with untreated OPT and rubberwood. Scanning Calorimetry Microscope SEM
