Fiber composite is a material that has been widely used such as in vehicles, buildings and in industry. The use of natural fiber materials is prioritized because the costs incurred are relatively cheaper and also more environmentally friendly. This study aims to test the physical properties of composite reinforced by salak bark fibers and nipah bark fibers. The fibers are soaked using a solution of Sodium Hydroxide for 2 hours. The variation of the volume fraction used is 5% : 5% ; 5% : 10% ; 5% : 15 % ; 5% : 20%. The physical properties test carried out is a density and moisture content test. Based on the results of the study, the highest density value was 0.927 %. Meanwhile, the moisture content test value showed the highest moisture content value of 1.90%.References
