Abstract

The use of polymer composite materials more widely used, the priority of the material widely used in the automotive, marine, locomotive and also the most important in the manufacture of aircraft and rockets. This is because the polymer composite material structure is proven durability and strength characteristics compared with other materials such as metal, ceramic and wood. The advantage in the polymer composite material is also being hunted for the manufacturing of materials to use it as one of their products. However, the source of raw material for the polymer composite material is from petroleum. Petroleum substances are substances that are believed to be of a very limited and cannot be obtained originally like the logs. Thus, the natural fiber in the trust is able to replace synthetic fibers such as fibers of glass fiber as one of the measures to accommodate the wishes of industry sectors who want an advanced materials and also can reduce the deterioration of the earth's resources .. This natural fiber, is said to reduce costs and increase profit margin investments. In this project, palm fiber used as reinforcing material for composites with two types of resins or resins used, namely, Epoxy and Polyester, then these ingredients are mixed and are fabricated as a single piece of composite natural polymer materials this is then tested durability and absorption of material, so compared to oil palm fiber compatibility with two different types of resins. Differences and congenial proven through tests made.
