The Given

Pultruded Kenaf Fiber Reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Composites (PKRC) was produced successfully using pultrusion technique at 70 wt% of fiber loading. Kenaf fiber 1400, 2200 and 3300 tex were used to produce PKRC with and without surfacing veil (SV). The aim of this study was to compare the properties of PKRC with and without SV after 200 days of natural weathering exposure. For natural weathering exposure study, PKRC 1400 specimen absorbed the least moisture followed by 2200 and the highest was 3300 tex. PKRC with SV showed lower moisture uptake than PKRC without SV in all the given environments.
