| ABSTRACT |
PulFMAP is a novel advanced kenaf fiber reinforced pultruded composites which can be used as an alternative to conventional construction¿s materials especially in lightweight structural applications. PulFMAP offers high specific mechanical properties, low cost, lightweight, high corrosion resistance and environmentally friendly. Typically, PulFMAP was produced by sophisticated fabrication technique namely Pultrusion process. This invention was made by the combination of Unsaturated Polyester Resin reinforced with continuous kenaf fiber with addition of filler: Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) and Catalyst: Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO), respectively.
