Abstract: As a non-timber forest product, bamboo is widely used as a craft material, construction, and food (bamboo shoots). Bamboo as a lignocellulose material can also be used as a raw material in the manufacture of cement boards. This research was conducted to compare the characteristics of the cement board derived from bamboo paring with various treatments. The type of bamboo used is bamboo parring (Gigantochloa atter), while the cement used is Portland Cement Composite (PCC). The cement board was made using conventional and CO2 injection methods with the addition of additives (CaCl2, MgCl2, and Ca(OH)2). The characteristics of the cement board were tested based on JIS A 5417-1992. The results showed that the addition of CaCl2 using the CO2 injection method significantly improved the physical and mechanical properties of the cement board.
