This research aims to develop the gypsum refractory board mixed with corn leaf coir. The 5 ratios of gypsum plaster: corn leaf coir: tap water: sodium silicate are equal to 1: 0: 1: 0.03 1: 0.100: 1: 0.03 1: 0.150: 1: 0.03 1: 0.200: 1: 0.03 1: 0.250: 1: 0.03 และ 1: 0.300: 1: 0.03 by weighted. The gypsum refractory boards were produce by casting in normal temperature (30 – 35 degree of Celsius). The properties testing of gypsum refractory board mixed with corn leaf coir followed the TIS 219-2009 standard (gypsum plasterboard) included: breaking load nail pull resistance deflection water absorption density and thermal conductivity coefficient. From the results 1: 150: 1: 0.03 is the most suitable ratio of gypsum refractory board mixed with corn leaf coir. This developed gypsum refractory boards can reduce the quantity of corn leaf waste and get the good thermal insulation gypsum refractory board products.

This research aims to study the application of kaolin with coconut meal plywood from corncobs and durian peel in concrete masonry unit wall for increasing effective heat protection and lightweight. The ratio of cement type 1: kaolin is equal to 1: 60 by weight. The kaolin is replaced by fiber include coconut meal fiber corn cob fiber durian peel fiber with 1.67% 3.33% and 5% by weight of kaolin. The kaolin concrete block mixed with fiber sample size is formed to 6.9 x 39 x 19 centimeter with the hydraulic compactor. The samples tested in physical and mechanical properties follow the TIS 58-2533 standard. Resulting their fibers can reduce the density thermal conductivity and compressive strength and increase the changing length and water absorption of kaolin concrete blocks. The kaolin concrete block without fiber has highest compressive strength followed by the kaolin concrete block mixed with corn cob fiber the kaolin concrete block mixed with coconut meal fiber and the kaolin concrete block mixed with durian peel fiber has lowest compressive strength respectively. However their fibers have possibility to be composite materials to reduce weight of kaolin concrete blocks.
