The research study aimed to: determine the feasibility of using coffee hull as a component in making cement board; investigate the properties of cement board made from coffee hull; and determine the treatment that will produce the best results of cement board from coffee hull. It was conducted from November 2005 to January 2006. The production of the cement boards was done at the Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI), University of the Philippines Los Banos, Laguna.
The proportions used were based on the treatment design of the study, which was suggested by the FPRDI. They were as follows: T, - 20 percent coffee hull and 80 percent cement; T2- 30 percent coffee hull and 70 percent cement; T3- 40 percent coffee hull and 60 percent cement.
There were four property tests done. For the mechanical property tests, Modulus of Rupture and Nail Head Pull Through Test were done while for the physical property tests, Thickness Swelling and Water Absorption tests were done.
The tests showed that in terms of mechanical properties, Treatment 1 (20% coffee hull and 80% cement) yielded the best results while Treatment 3 (40% coffee hull and 60% cement) yielded the lowest values. In terms of physical properties, Treatment 2 (30% coffee hull and 70% cement) yielded the best results while coffee hull and 60% cement) had the lowest results. Lastly, statistical analyses showed that Treatments 1 and 2 yielded comparable results.
