Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) treatment on the surface quality and bonding performance of four Malaysian hardwood species, namely batai, sesenduk, rubberwood and kedondong. The samples were impregnated with 2% ACQ preservatives and bonded with phenol-resorcinol–formaldehyde resin for cross laminated timber (CLT) fabrication. The changes in density and the retention of both ACQ and copper after the treatment were recorded. Surface roughness and wettability of both treated and untreated samples were measured. Block shear and delamination tests were performed to evaluate the bond-line strength of CLT. The study revealed that the average surface roughness (Ra) of each species increased significantly. Wettability of batai, sesenduk, rubberwood and kedondong was significantly higher than that of the untreated samples suggesting an improvement in surface wettability. For single-species CLT, treated rubberwood has the highest shear strength followed by kedondong, sesenduk and batai with values of 9.53 N/mm², 6.00 N/mm², 5.68 N/mm² and 4.19 N/mm², respectively. While for mixed-species CLT, the combination of ACQ-treated rubberwood-sesenduk-rubberwood has the highest block shear strength with a value of 8.05 N/mm². No delamination was observed from all samples. ACQ treatment was found to not affect the block shear strength significantly. Therefore, ACQ preservatives can be used to produce CLT with good bonding performance.
