Arenga palm

The unsaturated polyester resin with trade mark Mitsubhisi Yukalac type BQTN and its catalis is used as a matrix. The palm fibre or palmyra(from arenga pinnata reinforcement in this experiments were obtain from Sibolangit around 50 Km from Medan with diameter 0.2 - 0.3 mm, and the coir(from cocos nucifera lynn) were obtain from Lubuk Pakam around 30 Km from Medan and around 3 Km from sea-side with 0.2 - 0.3 mm diameter. As chemical solvent was used sodium hydroxid for treated of the fibres from E. Merck.
