Abstract
This research aims to develop particleboard from durian (Monthong variety) branch waste for use as a decorative material. The ratio of durian branch waste to Polymeric Diphenyl Methane Diisocyanate (pMDI) was designed and edited into six ratios with varying amounts of pMDI. The particleboard samples were cast using heat at 150°C for 7 minutes and tested following TIS.876-2004 (particleboard product) standards. According to the results, the particleboards with a density of 600 kg/m3, 8% pMDI, and mixed durian wood chips (shaved wood chips and ground wood chips) were suitable for decoration work. The properties of the particleboard included a density of 597.25 kg/m3, 4.48% moisture, 5.34% thickness swelling, 6.05 MPa bending strength, 378.25 MPa elastic modulus, and 0.37 MPa tensile strength perpendicular to the surface. The developed particleboard from durian branch waste can add value and reduce the amount of agricultural waste left in durian orchards in accordance with the zero waste concept
