| description | This study aimed to determine the possibility of
processing the oil palm trunk, frond and empty fruit
bunch (EFB) fibres for medium density fibreboard (MDF)
production. Vascular bundles from the three major
fibrous components of oil palm tree was collected after
they were disintegrated by an 'All Palm Fractionator'
machine. A study on the vascular bundles recovery on the
three parts of oil palm tree revealed that EFB has the
highest vascular bundles recovery rate (90.49%) followed
by frond (75.28%) and trunk (48.65%). However, vascular
bundle from the trunk has the most favourable colour
(light creamy) for MDF manuf acturing. The fibre
morphology study indicated that the morphological
properties of all the three types of fibres were
adequate to produce good strength fibre composite
eventhough their fibre length, coefficient of suppleness
and Runkle ratio might not be as good as softwood fibre. |
