Utilization Of Fiber And Shell Particles Palm Oil As Substitute Materials In Producing Eternite Ceiling
Abstract: Assessment of
science and technology in the field of materials engineering and the
development of environmental issues
require new breakthroughs in the provision of high quality materials and
environmentally friendly. Nonmetallic materials Composite especially natural
fibers that are more lightweight , malleable, corrosion resistance, low price
and easy to obtain. research purposes to determine the mechanical properties of composite fiber and
palm shell particles by measuring tensile strength, hardness and bending.
In this study, the materials used are such as cement, fiber and oil
palm’s shell, and using tools such as mold, ruler, sieve, balance sheets, and
others. Composite fibers arranged randomly on the variation of particle mass
fraction of 40% coconut oil, 35% of particles and 5% palm fiber, 30% particles
and 10% fiber and 25% palm oil and 15% of particles of oil palm fiber. Pull
Testing was conducted with reference to DIN 50 125, flexure testing with
standard DIN 1101. Both tensile testing
and flexural testing were conducted to
determine the mechanical properties of the composite . The highest value of
flexure test result is in the composite
content of 25% particles and 15 % fiber particles is equal to 2:44 N/mm2
and the lowest value of bending
test result is the composite content
of particles 40% of palm oil is equal to
1365 N/mm2. While for the tensile test results , the highest value is in the composite content of 30% and 10% of
particles of oil palm fiber at 0.479
N/mm2, and for the lowest drag
value is on the particle content of 35%
composite and 5 % palm fiber at 0.15 N/mm2 . As for the highest value in
hardness test is in the composite content of
30% and 10% of particles Fiber HRH palm of 36.5, and the lowest value is
26.5% HRH the composite contains of 35% particle and 5% palm fiber.
Keywords: Composite, fiber and palm shell particles, mechanical
