Evaluation of Density for Malaysian Hardwood Timber Treated by Heat: The Case of Pauh Kijang (Irvingia spp.) and Kapur (Dryobalanops spp.)
Abstract Heat treatment is one of the environmental friendly ways to treat timber that will lead to the improvement of timber natural quality and equip the timber with new properties. It is an eco-friendly and alternative treatment method that will modify the properties of timber by using high temperature instead of using chemical preservatives as common practice. This paper presents the effect of heat treatment on physical properties which is density for two types of Malaysian hardwood namely pauh kijang and kapur. Specially, design electronic furnace was used as an oven for the heat treatment process. The result shows a reduction in density after heat treatment, however, the difference is not merely significant. Reduction in density indicates a weight loss which is theoretically caused by moisture content loss thus leading to the increment of movement stability.
