Abstract

The current development of science and technology, especially in the field of materials, causes people to prefer to use instant construction materials because they are practical, solid and durable, and easy to obtain, so that people, especially sago/rumbia processing farmers, only use the contents of the stems as flour. In contrast, the -other parts of sago/rumbia are no longer used, so they become waste. Research on particle composite materials and sago/sago leaf stalk fibers, using resin fillers and fiberglass catalysts, as a study on the manufacture of composite boards to compare with previous studies using epoxy fillers and fiberglass filler studies to see the ability of physical and economic properties to manufacture boards. Composites in previous studies. This study uses a testing method using the standard SNI 03-2105-2006 [1].
