  • ABSTRACT The objective of research is to investigate feasibility of fiber from pandan alas leaves as reinforcement of composite material with focus on its strength and density. The research was conducted by cutting pandan alas leaves which are old enough and the length from jetty is about 60 cm up to 100 cm, then continued by leaf flaking to take fiber. Fiber from pandan alas leaves was cut to pieces as long as 17 cm as according to specimen test. The fiber was than treated with soaking in formalin with concentration 5 % up to 37 % during one hour, then measured the strength, diameter and density. A similar work was also conducted to glass fibre as a control variabel. Results show that fiber of pandan alas leaves which is not soaked in formalin has the strength approximately 3 times compared to glass fiber, i.e. 72,44 kg/mm2 for fiber of pandan alas leaves and 21,65 kg/mm2 for glass fiber. The strength of fiber from pandan alas leaves decrease until 13 % if soaked in formalin during one hour. Density of fiber from pandan alas leaves and glass fiber is 0,96 gram/cm3 and 0,31 gram/cm3 respectively. Keywords: fiber of pandan alas leaves, glass fiber, composite material
