This research aims to study the water hyacinth fiber inside high-density fiber cement board. By using ratio components among cement : fine sand : water hyacinth fiber : water : catalyst accelerated the formations of cement (aluminum sulfate (AI2 (SO4) 3) calcium chloride (CaCl2) sodium silicate (Na2SiO3)) on the ratio 1: 0.2: 0.075: 0.3: 0.03 by weight of total water hyacinth fiber with the steel grating inside. By compressing the mixture cast machine at normal temperature (30 - 35 °C). From the test results the ratio of B4 is the appropriate ratio from the 1st year research result to produce the high-density fiber cement board with the steel grating inside 0.81mm #0.5”. It can pass the TIS 878-2537 standard of Cement Board and good based-on high density and physical properties mechanical properties and thermal insulation. Accelerate the formation of the most suitable cement is calcium chloride (CaCl2).

There has been an extensive use of fiberboards in the furniture industry. Therefore materials containing glue are applied to develop these fiberboards. This research investigated sawdust-produced fiberboards using lac as the binder and aimed to; (1) study the appropriate mixture proportions of sawdust and lac as the binder and; (2) explore the physical and mechanical properties of different mixture proportions of sawdust and lac at 5 wt% 10 wt% 15 wt% 20 wt% 30 wt% and 40 wt%. The research methods involved selecting sizes of dried sawdust and grinding with lac and alcohol. Then the mixture was pressed in a hot-pressing machine. After that the produced fiberboards were tested using medium-density fibreboards Thai Industrial Standard (TIS 966-2547) in a laboratory. The results showed that the appropriate proportions was 15 wt% which met the standard defined in Thai Industrial Standard (TIS 966-2547). The fiberboards could replace medium-density plywood and could be used in furniture and the home decorative product industry.

This research aims to study the water hyacinth fiber inside high density cement fiber board. By using ratio components among cement : fine sand : water hyacinth fiber : water : catalyst accelerated the formations of cement (aluminum sulfate (AI2 (SO4) 3) calcium chloride (CaCl2) sodium silicate (Na2SiO3)) on the ratio 1: 0.2: 0.075: 0.3: 0.03 by weight of total water hyacinth fiber. The 5 ratios consist of 0.0 (A1 D1 formulae) 0.025 (A2 B2 C2 D2 formulae) 0.050 0.03 (A4 B4 C4 D4 formulae) and 0.1 (A5 B5 C5 D5 formulae) by weighted all fibers were treated with sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) at a concentration of 12%. The fiber to solution ratio was 1: 10 boiled in open system at 100 °C for 1 - 3 hours. By compressing the mixture cast machine at normal temperature (30 - 35 °C). Use a density of 0.75 g / cm3. From the test results the ratio B4 is the appropriate ratio. Can pass TIS 878- 2537 Cement Board: high density and physical properties mechanical properties and thermal insulation are good. Accelerate the formation of the most suitable cement is calcium chloride (CaCl2)

This research is aimed at studying the development of strong and high strength fiberboard from coconut fiber and corn plant. This is the second consecutive year by using natural latex. To enhance thermal insulation performance. By using the cement ratio: fine sand: coconut pulp: corn fiber: water: surfactant: surfactant is 1: 0.2: 0.0125: 0.0375: 0.3: 0.03: 0.04 by weight Then add natural rubber latex at cement ratio: 5: 1 ratio of natural rubber latex: 1: 0.05 1: 0.10 1: 0.15 1: 0.20 and 1: 0.25 by weight tested in accordance with TIS 878- 2537 on cement slabs. : High density the test results show that the ratio of 1: 0.05 is the fiber cement ratio. The most appropriate the amount of natural latex said. Can make fiber Cement sheets. Best compression and bending strength. And has passed the standard TIS 878-2537 cement fiberboard developed this can help reduce the amount of natural latex is very high. And have a good thermal insulation properties

This research aims to study the using oil palm fiber to develop cement-bonded fiberboard product. The mixture ratios of Portland cement type1: fine sand: oil palm fiber:tap water: catalyst are 1 : 1.95 : 0.05 : 0.40 : 0.03 1 : 1.94 : 0.06 : 0.40 : 0.03 1 : 1.93 : 0.07 : 0.40 : 0.03 1 : 1.92 : 0.08 : 0.40 : 0.03 and 1 : 1.91 : 0.09 : 0.40 : 0.03 by weight. The cement-bonded fiberboard samples are cast in 30 x 30 x 1.5 centimeter in dimension. The cement-bonded fiberboard sample testing follows the TIS 878-2537. The results show that the density thermal conductivity bending strength modulus of elasticity and tension perpendicular to surface of cement-bonded fiberboard with high quantity of oil palm fiber are lower than cement-bonded fiberboard with low quantity of oil palm fiber while that the water absorption and swelling in water of cement-bonded fiberboard with high quantity of oil palm fiber are higher. However all of oil palm fiber samples with lower than 0.06 of ratio can pass the standard.
