Abstract

Various types of wood processing produce wood waste beside indeed the wood products. Wood waste can be re used by joining it using wood connector, which was in this current study used waste plastic bottle by heating the plastic using a hot air gun at a certain temperature. The length of the connector could be influence to the strength of the wood connection. Therefor this study was conducted to observe the flexural strength of the wood connection using waste plastic bottle as connector in some different lengths by doing an experimental study. Thirty samples with 5x5x76 cm in dimension were prepared from five variations of the connection length that were 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 cm. Eight samples made for each variations of length. The results indicate that the length of the connector significantly influence in the flexural strength of the wood connection. The length of the plastic connector which met the highest flexural strength was 20 cm which was reach 65.091 kg / cm2 or 7.58% of the undamaged wood or wood without connection.
