Abstract

English

Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) is a fast-growing wood that is widely utilized by the society as a construction material and furniture making. This study aimed to increase the density of jabon wood through a vacuum pressure impregnation method. Furfuryl alcohol (FA) and nano-SiO2 with three concentrations (0.5%, 0.75%, dan 1%) were used as impregnation additives, with control and FA without nanoparticles as comparisons. Impregnation was initiated with a vacuum (0.5 bar) for an hour, followed by pressure (2.5 bar) for 2 hours. The significant results on the physical properties of jabon wood including weight percent gain (WPG), bulking effect (BE), and density showed the success of the modification treatment through the FA and nano-SiO2 impregnation process with various concentrations, which the wood density increased from 0.60 g/cm3 to 0.94 g/cm3. The composition of FA and 1% nano-SiO2 solution was the best treatment to obtain the highest density in modified jabon wood.

Kayu jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) merupakan kayu cepat tumbuh yang banyak diminati masyarakat untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan konstruksi dan pembuatan furnitur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kerapatan kayu jabon melalui metode impregnasi vakum tekan. Furfuril alkohol (FA) dan nano-SiO2 dengan tiga konsentrasi (0.5%, 0.75%, dan 1%) digunakan sebagai bahan impregnan, dengan kontrol dan perlakuan FA tanpa nanopartikel sebagai pembanding. Impregnasi dimulai dengan pemberian vakum (0.5 bar) selama 1 jam, dilanjutkan dengan tekan (2.5 bar) selama 2 jam. Hasil yang signifikan pada sifat fisis kayu jabon yang meliputi weight percent gain (WPG), bulking effect (BE), dan kerapatan menunjukkan keberhasilan perlakuan modifikasi melalui proses impregnasi FA dan nano-SiO2 dengan berbagai konsentrasi, yang mana kerapatan kayu meningkat dari 0.60 g/cm3 menjadi 0.94 g/cm3. Komposisi larutan FA dan nano-SiO2 1% menjadi perlakuan terbaik untuk mendapatkan nilai kerapatan tertinggi pada kayu jabon termodifikasi.
