Abstract
This research aimed to develop mechanical properties of coconut husk paper and the products from coconut husk paper to assess the efficiency of design towards marketing needs and to create management guidelines for the coconut husk paper existing manufacturers. This study was performed at Kaset Lak Song Phattana Kaset Phopaing Yang Yun community, Ban Phaew District, Samut Sakhon. To develop mechanical properties of coconut husk paper, coconut husk was added with Saa pulp at different mixed ratio of 95:5 and 70:30. The results showed that, the tear index was increased with adding Saa pulp. The optimum ratio of coconut husk paper and Saa was 70:30. The production of developed coconut husk paper is extended for local business operation. The production capacity is 100 sheets per cycle for 5 days and it cost 9 Bath per sheet. The products made from coconut husk paper includes lamp, wall clock, and herb sachet.
