Abstract
This study investigated the effect of mixed material composition of jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) and andong (Giganthochloa pseudoarundinaceae Steud.) particleboards on their resistance to subterranean termite (Coptotermes curvignatus Holmgren). Six types of 35cm × 35cm × 1.2 cm particleboards were produced and glued with phenol formaldehyde in the proportion of 100:0, 70:0, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60 and 30:70 for jabon and andong. Those panels were tested according to SNI 727-2014. The results showed that material composition of jabon and andong was significantly influenced weight loss and termite mortality. Particleboard with 30:70 jabon-andong proportions had the lowest weight loss (4.28%) and classified as resistant class. Termite mortality rate escalated as jabon composition in the panel decreased.
