“…Abaca fiber is a natural fiber that has good mechanical properties and is suitable as a reinforcement for composite materials [12,13]. In previous studies, it was found that the bending strength of abaca fiber composites was 54 MPa, which was comparable to similar natural fibers such as knaf and jute [14].…”

Cement panels are industrial products that are widely used as construction and insulation materials. In general, cement panels are reinforced with synthetic fibers. In this study, a cement panel reinforced by natural fibers, namely abaca fiber, was developed. Abaca fiber has advantages over other natural fibers in terms of availability, mechanical properties and physical properties. Cement panels were made in several levels of abaca fiber content (0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%) to study the effect of fiber content on the flexural strength and physical properties of cement panel. The material and experiment were prepared and carried out according to Indonesia standard SNI 01-4449-2006. The result of the experiment showed that the fiber content significantly affected the flexural strength, density, moister content, water absorption and thickness development of abaca-cement panels. The maximum flexural strength was 71.88 MPa, produced by cement panel with 3% fiber content, and it was 2.15 time higher than cement panel without fiber. The result of the experiment indicated that the abaca fiber was potential inforcement for cement panel with respect to its flexural strngth and physical properties.

“…Abaca fiber is a natural fiber that works well as a reinforcement for composite materials due to its good mechanical qualities [12,13]. Abaca fiber composites were shown to have bending strengths of 54 MPa in earlier tests, which was on par with natural fibers like knaf and jute [14].…”

Cement-gypsum board has been used widely in construction project as a non-structural material. Commercial cement-gypsum board is mostly reinforced with synthetic fiber such as glass fiber. Environment consideration leads to the replacement of synthetic component with natural one in industrial product. In this study, a cement-gypsum board with natural fiber reinforcement—specifically, abaca fiber—was created. To examine the impact of fiber content on the flexural strength and other physical characteristics of cement-gypsum panels, cement-gypsum panels with varying amounts of abaca fiber content (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%) were created. The experiment and its materials were created in accordance with Indonesian Standard SNI 01-4449-2006. The experiment's findings demonstrated that the amount of fiber in abaca-cement-gypsum panels had a substantial impact on their flexural strength, density, moisture content, water absorption, and thickness development. The cement-gypsum panel with a 2% fiber content achieved the highest flexural strength of 38.577 MPa. According to the experiment's findings on its flexural strength and physical characteristics, abaca fiber could serve as reinforcement for cement-gypsum board.
