<br/><br/> The study, The Effect of Sugarcane Bagasse as raw material in Cement Bonded Board<br/>aim to provide an alternative use for the waste from sugarcane, which is the sugarcane<br/>bagasse. The Cement Bonded Board made out of Cement, water and sugarcane bagasse<br/>as raw material can be a substitute for building boards due to high production of<br/>agricultural waste. The study focusses on the effectiveness of the cement bonded board<br/>using sugarcane bagasse. The study consists of different ratio 5:95, 7.5:92.5, 10:90 and<br/>has a dimension of 300mm x 300mm x 10.2mm to determine the effectiveness of the<br/>sugarcane bagasse as raw material in cement bonded board. The cement bonded board<br/>underwent through several physical tests like Thickness Swelling (TS), and Water<br/>Absorption (WA) tests. For the mechanical test, the board underwent through Modulus of<br/>Rupture (MOR), and Face Screw Holding (FSH) tests. The test result showed that some<br/>of the mix ratios have met the PNS Standard of different types of particleboard and some<br/>did not meet the PNS Standard of different types of particleboard. The cement bonded<br/>board was evaluated by 30 evaluators in Technological University of the Philippines –<br/>Manila and were rated with an overall mean of 4.46 with a descriptive equivalent of<br/>“Very Acceptable”. Which means that the cement bonded board with the use of<br/>sugarcane bagasse as raw material was approved from their standard in terms of<br/>evaluating the board.
