Dissertation note: College of Industrial Technology.-- Bachelor of Technology Major in Civil Engineering Technology: Technological University of the Philippines, Manila 2019 Summary: The project study ‘Abaca Fiber as Reinforcement to Coffee Husk – Isocyanate as Binder Particle Board” aims to provide an alternative use for Abaca Fiber and Coffee Husk. The Particle Board made from Isocyanate, Coffee Husk as raw material can be a substitute for building boards due to its high production of agricultural waste. These materials are currently being burned on the ground or dumped on land or in rivers. The material used in this study is Abaca fiber which contains a high level of cellulosic fibers which is essential to produce fiberboards. Abaca is considered the strongest of natural fibers, being three times stronger than sisal fiber. The material may also be used for cordage products, fiber crafts and handwoven fabrics. Abaca fiber is an ideal raw material because it is an economically and ecologically friendly material. The study focused on the effectiveness of the particle board using abaca fiber and coffee husk. The study consists of three different ratios. Mix 1 was composed of 60% abaca and 40% coffee husk, Mix 2 was composed of 50% abaca and 50% coffee husk, and Mix 3 was composed of 40% abaca 60% coffee husk, all with the constant Binder content of 5% to determine the effectiveness of the abaca fiber and coffee husk as raw material in particle board. The particle board underwent through series of testing to determine its physical and mechanical property such as Thickness Swelling (TS) and Water Absorption (WA) tests and Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Internal Bond Test (IB) and Face Screw Holding (FSH) tests respectively. Based on the results attained from tests, all the mix design did not meet the standard for physical property while all mix design passed the MOR and FSH test except for IB for mechanical test. The particle board was evaluated by 30 evaluators composed of 15 professors and 15 students from different schools based on the TUP Evaluation form.

The project study ‘Abaca Fiber as Reinforcement to Coffee Husk – Isocyanate as Binder
Particle Board” aims to provide an alternative use for Abaca Fiber and Coffee Husk. The
Particle Board made from Isocyanate, Coffee Husk as raw material can be a substitute for
building boards due to its high production of agricultural waste. These materials are
currently being burned on the ground or dumped on land or in rivers. The material used
in this study is Abaca fiber which contains a high level of cellulosic fibers which is
essential to produce fiberboards. Abaca is considered the strongest of natural fibers, being
three times stronger than sisal fiber. The material may also be used for cordage products,
fiber crafts and handwoven fabrics. Abaca fiber is an ideal raw material because it is an
economically and ecologically friendly material. The study focused on the effectiveness
of the particle board using abaca fiber and coffee husk. The study consists of three
different ratios. Mix 1 was composed of 60% abaca and 40% coffee husk, Mix 2 was
composed of 50% abaca and 50% coffee husk, and Mix 3 was composed of 40% abaca
60% coffee husk, all with the constant Binder content of 5% to determine the
effectiveness of the abaca fiber and coffee husk as raw material in particle board. The
particle board underwent through series of testing to determine its physical and
mechanical property such as Thickness Swelling (TS) and Water Absorption (WA) tests
and Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Internal Bond Test (IB) and Face Screw Holding (FSH)
tests respectively. Based on the results attained from tests, all the mix design did not meet
the standard for physical property while all mix design passed the MOR and FSH test
except for IB for mechanical test. The particle board was evaluated by 30 evaluators
composed of 15 professors and 15 students from different schools based on the TUP
Evaluation form.
