Abstract

This study investigates the production of flooring from oriented strand board (OSB) made with urban and garden tree pruning waste, with the aim of reducing urban management costs and creating stable income. Two types of directional chipboard flooring were produced: "B," using 45% garden tree pruning and 55% urban tree pruning, and "T," using 100% garden tree pruning and urea formaldehyde resin. The study varied the percentage of resin in two levels (10% and 12%) and the percentage of cake moisture in two levels (12% and 14%). Several tests were conducted based on international flooring standards, including surface wettability, free fall impact resistance, surface hardness, concentrated loading, and abrasion resistance. The results showed that OSB type T flooring had less moisture absorption and shrinkage in the surface wettability test, while T-type OSB flooring had better surface hardness, wear resistance, and resistance to force in the concentrated load test at point 2 compared to other types. The study concludes that producing flooring with 100% garden tree pruning chips, 12% urea formaldehyde resin, and 14% cake moisture can yield the best results. Based on the results, it is possible to use all four types of finished flooring in humid climates and high-traffic environments such as industrial buildings, companies, and residences. It is suggested that the biodegraded pruning of trees be used in the production of other engineered boards to preserve forests as the source of oxygen and habitat for animal species.
