Pengaruh pengawetan dengan wood injector terhadap sifat fisis dan kekuatan kayu pada kayu balsa (Ochroma bicolor Rowlee) dan akasia (Acacia mangium Willd.)

Abstract

5-10 years. In order to overcome this issue, it needs an effort to increase the service time of wood by developing the wood preservation technology. However, the awareness to the importance of wood sometime occurs when the wood has been attached as a construction component and even has been deteriorated by the wood destroying organism. Nowadays, the method of wood preservation have been developed using a wood injector. This Injection method can be applied to post-construction wood. The principle of this injection method are pushing the preservative into the wood with the help of pressure which is generated by a special injector through one or more applications hole which is equipped with a valve. Due to the pressure and application hole, the treatability and its influence before and after to physical properties and strength of wood need to be known.
