Flame retardation of banana fiber reinforced epoxy composites using melamine pyrophosphate and pentaerythritol as intumescent flame retardants and the influence of mechanical properties were investigated. The effects of IFR contents and the ratio of MPP and PER on limiting oxygen index (LOI) and UL94 rating of banana fiber reinforced epoxy composites has been studied. It was found that the combustion performance of the composites increases with increasing IFR contents,and the composites at the ratio of MPP/PER=2:1(weight ratio) at the same loading 40% showed the best combustion performance with IFR contents increasing,the limiting oxygen index (LOI) increased and UL94 rating reached, but the mechanical properties of composites significantly decreased. In order to increase the comprehensive properties, the flame retarded fiber was used to prepared the composites,the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the composites significantly increased. the best complex properties were the IFR contents was 40%, the ratio of MPP/PER=2:1 (weight ratio), by the spraying method with 20g the fire retardant liquid of every 30g banana fiber.

Indonesia is one of countries with the potential for abundant natural resources, especially natural fibers. The potential of Indonesian natural fibers abundant is not fully put to good use to increase social welfare. One of the natural fibers that have the potential to be developed is the banana fiber. Banana fiber has potential in abundance and can be developed as a biocomposite material that is strong, inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and can be recycled. This study aims to produce a tensile strength of Banana Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite Materials (BFRECM). Testing of the tensile strength refers to the ASTM D 3039 / D3039M. Based on the research results, obtained the tensile strength of BFRECM (62.3 ± 0.67) MPa and modulus of elasticity (8.72 ± 1.12) GPa. Tensile strength obtained will be referred for further study of natural fiber composites.
