Nowadays, kenaf are gaining attention in the development and is used in many types of
engineering application. This new type of composite also contribute towards the green
technology making it favorable in various applications. This research is focused on making
a laboratory tabletop by utilizing the unidirectional oriented kenaf fiber as the main
material which is layered with woven fiberglass. The project methodology is divided into
three sections; preparing the specimen, conducting the experiment and testing as well as
data analysis. The mould that contains a layer of woven fiberglass and kenaf fiber were
poured from a mixture of polyester resin and polyester hardener. The specimen was then
compressed and left to dry completely before further testing. Tensile test was carried out
by following the ASTM D3039, ASTM D7264 standard for flexural test and ASTM D7136 for
drop weight impact test. The results data obtained was found to be suitable for lightweight
use only.
