Sentang thermoplastic influences filler loading / Mohd Muizz Fahimi Mohamed, Muhammad Faridzul Mohd Rosley and Philip Michael Mandak

The properties of wood composite from Sentang with different amount of filler loading to the board already ascertaining. Wood Plastic Composite from sentang followed by the percentages of sawdust, ten parameter was carried out there are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50% without MAPP. Determination of the physical properties had been from water absorption and thickness swelling testing. While for the tensile, bending, and impact testing also determine the mechanical properties of the board. This project determines the suitability of sentang to be used as filler in the production of thermoplastic composite. Henceforth, from the statistical analysis shows, the sentang sawdust has a greater potential as an alternative raw material to produce the WPC.
