520			_aThe demand for wood-based products is rapidly increasing due to the growing population and businesses. This may cause rapid depletion of our forest resources. To meet the increasing demand for wood, new alternatives for the said material must be found. One of the main agricultural crops of the Philippines is sugarcane. Its byproduct, the sugarcane bagasse, is the second largest agricultural waste in the country–which can be an alternative material for wood. For this reason, the researchers have developed a medium-density fiberboard using sugarcane bagasse. The sugarcane bagasse medium-density fiberboard and Isocyanate as binder were produced using the following mix ratios: Mix 1 (99:1), Mix 2 (97:3), Mix 3 (95:5), Mix 4 (93:7), and Mix 5 (91:9). The produced fiberboard was subjected to a density variation test and a thickness swelling test to determine its physical properties, while an internal bond test, modulus of rupture test, and modulus of elasticity test were performed to determine its mechanical properties. The testing procedures adhere to the PNS 16895:2017. Based on the test results, all mix ratios successfully passed the Density Variation (DV). Mix 3, Mix 4, and Mix 5 demonstrated strong internal bonding, passing the Internal Bond (IB) test and showcasing their potential for durable applications. While the Thickness Swelling (TS) test and specific mechanical requirements outlined in PNS ISO 16895:2017, these findings suggest that sugarcane bagasse MDF holds potential for aesthetic applications, including wall panels and partition walls, offering a sustainable and visually appealing alternative for interior design.
