The Development of Cement-Bonded Composite Board from Aseptic Carton Waste with Hyacinth Fiber

Abstract

Abstract This article presents the development of cement-bonded composite board from aseptic carton waste with hyacinth fiber. The mechanical, and physical properties of aseptic carton waste cement boards with hyacinth fiber (ACWCHB) developed were investigated. The ACWCHB were produced at a density of 1,000 kg/m3. The cement-to-fibers ratios by weight are 70:30. The hyacinth fiber ratio of 0%, 50% and 100% of the aseptic carton waste fiber were prepared at the same water-to-cement ratio of 0.6. The size of ACWCHB is 30 cm in width x 30 cm in length and 2 cm in height. The mechanical and physical properties were evaluated, modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS). Based on the result obtained, it can be summarized that the highest efficiency cement-to-fiber ratio was found to be 70:30 with 50% hyacinth fiber.
