Abstract
The Glass Reinforced Piastic (GRP) coroposite mat~rials were made- by simple hand l~y-up technology (open-mould 'process) '(>'hereby Calcium .. Carbonate and Talc mineral fillers were added each in the following proportions: 5%, 1 0%, 15%, 20% and 25%. The materials were tested for compression strength, since the material is intend{3d -to be used in construction industry especially in cladding p~nel form. It w~s founq th~t GRP samples with fillers of Calcium Ce~rbonat€) composite· ,mat~riC,tl ha.d higher compressive strength than those with fillf:l.fS gf Ta.lc. T~iR hig~~r cqmpressive strength was attributed to the features of th~ 9iffer~,nc:;es,. tn the stru,ctu_ral build up of the tf.'o mineral fillers.
