The use of Hydroxyapatite as bone graft material continues to increase. To utilize hydroxyapatite, it is often formed into biocomposite. The formation of hydroxyapatite biocomposite intended to address the fragile hydroxyapatite weaknesses. The added element in the formation of this biocomposite is borosilicate. Mixing of this material is arranged with certain composition using ball miling. To form a test specimen, it was printed with compacting force of 5 KN, 15 KN and 25 KN. Test results Compressive Strength.and XRD showed that addition of borosilicate did not change the compound that is hydroxyapatite, but the intensity of hydroxyapatite tends to decrease with addition of borosilicate amount, this is corroborated by FTIR testing. For visible compressive strength, the maximum value occurs at 75: 25 compositions, ie 45 MPa, 42.9 MPa and 52.3 MPa. This suggests that the addition of borosilicate in biocomposite formation does not alter hydroxyapatite compound and can generally increase the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity to 25% wt% borosilicate addition.
