What are the properties of coconut coir and banana sheaths as a replacement fiber
for fiber cement board?
The properties of coconut fiber cement board and banana fiber cement board
include tensile strength, bending strength, thickness swelling, surface burning
properties, drilling properties, density, water absorption. These properties help
determine its performance as fiber cement board and if its suitable as fiber for fiber
cement board. Based on the results of the previous chapter, coconut fiber cement board
and banana fiber cement board have an impressive performance that meets the
standard properties. Therefore, these fiber gives a great potential as replacement fiber
for fiber cement board.
2. Which ratio of coconut husk and banana sheaths attain the level of a good quality
fiber cement board?
The ratio of coconut fiber cement board that reaches the level of high-quality fiber
cement board is 5% of coconut fiber. Most of the testing was done at 5% coconut, which
outperforms the other ratios, making this ratio a suitable mix for coconut. Although the
ratio of banana fiber cement board that reaches the level of good quality fiber cement
board is 10% of banana sheaths. Banana may not meet the standard for tensile
strength and water absorption, but it gives an amazing result when testing this fiber
cement board. Therefore, 5% coconut and 10% banana sheaths are a high-quality
mixture that gives excellent results in terms of its mechanical and physical properties.
3. Based on the result of the experiment, does the fiber of coconut coir and Banana
Sheaths affect the quality of the fiber cement board?
Based on the result of the experiment, the coconut coir and banana sheaths affect the
quality of the fiber cement board, which it strengthens its mechanical and physical
properties, and it can be used to ensure the strength of the product.
SUMMARY NAS ANS SA SCOPE HUEHUE
The researcher concluded that the fibers used in this study gives a great potential as
replacement fiber for the existing fiber of the fiber cement board. (Wala nakoy ma
