Summary: This study focused on the utilization of sugar cane bagasse combined with coconut husk fibers in the production of composite boards to be used in the production of a remote controlled wall divider. The bagasse used is in this study were obtained from Tarlac. The bagasse gathered from the farm were cleaned and sieved. Coconut fibers used in this study were from Villar Sipag Foundation in Paranaque City. The coconut fibers were cleaned and cut according to the desired length. The study also used Polyester Resin with MEKP as the binding agent in the production of boards. The physical, mechanical and chemical property characterization of the materials was done by Fiber Industry Development Authority (FIDA). The mixed design varied according to the percentage of bagasse, coconut fibers and the binder in the mixture. There were initial mix design which did not attained the desirable characteristics of a composite board. Several trials were made until the mix designs passed the desired characteristics of a composite board. The following mix designs were 10%- 90%, 12.5%-87.5% and 15%-85% (bagasse and coconut fibers-binder ratio. After production, the boards were tested on its physical and mechanical properties. Results were obtained and it showed that the boards passed the standards of Philippine National Standards.

This study focused on the utilization of sugar cane bagasse combined with coconut
husk fibers in the production of composite boards to be used in the production of a remote
controlled wall divider.

The bagasse used is in this study were obtained from Tarlac. The bagasse gathered
from the farm were cleaned and sieved. Coconut fibers used in this study were from Villar
Sipag Foundation in Paranaque City. The coconut fibers were cleaned and cut according
to the desired length. The study also used Polyester Resin with MEKP as the binding agent
in the production of boards. The physical, mechanical and chemical property
characterization of the materials was done by Fiber Industry Development Authority
(FIDA).
The mixed design varied according to the percentage of bagasse, coconut fibers and
the binder in the mixture. There were initial mix design which did not attained the desirable
characteristics of a composite board. Several trials were made until the mix designs passed
the desired characteristics of a composite board. The following mix designs were 10%-
90%, 12.5%-87.5% and 15%-85% (bagasse and coconut fibers-binder ratio. After
production, the boards were tested on its physical and mechanical properties. Results were
obtained and it showed that the boards passed the standards of Philippine National
Standards.
