Wall Materials from Banana Fiber

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to introduce banana fiber, which is mainly used in banana tree in agriculture, will use the result. And leaves mostly Which in the circuit of the banana tree when the effect.It will not be able to get out again, but in the trunk is cut. Banana fiber from the stem to produce products. The properties of banana fiber and study the appropriate production methods. Study physical properties with toughness. When compressed with a binder. Is a cassava starch that is produced by itself without bleaching.Experimental production of wall panels. By using the above material as a substrate. And physical comparison test Density test Tensile strength test Moisture test By comparison With the standard of industrial plywood plate (TIS 876-2547), the test piece is 15x15x1 cm with the density of 400 kg / m3.The ratio varies according to the results of the test. For gluing ratio: 100: 50, 100: 60, 100: 70, and 1.1: 1.3, 1.5: Celsius has a compression pressure of 100 kg / square cm, 10-15 minutes compression time. Results of the industry standard test found that the strongest specimens And pass the standard value is Workpiece with ratio Fiber content with glue ratio at glue volume(%) 30:70,40:60,50: 50 Pass all standard values There are 23.6 kg / f, 23.6 kg / f, 38 kg / f resistances, respectively. In a high ratio of water and glue, the workpiece will have no resistance.Moisture content was measured at 140 deg., 24 hours. The swelling ratio was about 30-35% (Kg/ ) Thickness Swelling Standard Pass Can add value to the waste of agricultural materials are left.
