This research aims to test the properties of concrete block mixed with basalt fragment as aggregates in products. The mix ratios of Portland cement type1 : basalt fragment : water are 1 : 10 : 0.7 1 : 10.5 : 0.7 1 : 11 : 0.7 1 : 11.5 : 0.7 and 1 : 12 : 0.7 by weight. The concrete block samples were mixed and casted in 7 x 19 x 39 centimeter by the concrete block molding machine. The concrete block sample testing follows the TIS 58-2533 standard on non-load bearing concrete blocks. From the results the density compressive strength and thermal conductivity of concrete block mixed with basalt fragment are lower than the common concrete block. In addition the water absorption and volumetric change are higher than the common concrete block. The optimal ratio in this work is 1: 11: 0.7

This research aims to study the using oil palm fiber to develop ceiling board product. The mixture ratios of Gypsum plaster: oil palm fiber: tap water: catalyst are 1 : 0.15 : 1: 0.03 1 : 0.20 : 1: 0.03 1 : 0.25 : 1: 0.03 1 : 0.30: 1: 0.03 and 1 : 0.35 : 1: 0.03 by weight. The ceiling board samples are cast in 30 x 30 x 1 centimeter in dimension. The ceiling board sample testing follows the TIS 219-2552. The results show that the longitudinal and lateral breaking load Nail pull resistance density and thermal conductivity of ceiling board with high quantity of oil palm fiber are lower than ceiling board with low quantity of oil palm fiber while that the deflection and water absorption of ceiling board with high quantity of oil palm fiber are higher. However all of oil palm fiber samples with lower than 0.2 of ratio can pass the standard.
