Resumen

La vivienda residencial es un aspecto crítico de la vida humana y en los países en desarrollo esto es un espejismo debido al elevado coste de los materiales de construcción. Con el fin de satisfacer las necesidades de viviendas asequibles con materiales de bajo costo así como cumplir con las normas de seguridad contra incendios, esta investigación desarrolló tableros de fibra ignífugos con residuos de aceite de palma reforzados con resina de poliéster, que incorporan una carga retardante de llama de 0, 12 y 18% utilizando la colocación manual y moldeado por compresión. Los tableros de fibra se ensayaron para determinar sus propiedades de impacto, térmicas e inflamabilidad. Basándonos en los experimentos realizados, se encontró que el tablero de fibra de tri-hidróxido de aluminio al 12% cumple con el impacto y las limitaciones térmicas, mientras que la formulación híbrida al 18% cumple con el estándar de seguridad contra incendios requerido para la construcción de aplicaciones interiores que beneficiará a los habitantes rurales de Nigeria y de climas similares en todo el mundo, buscando sustituir los materiales convencionales con la ventaja de un material compuesto de bajo costo, facilidad de procesamiento, biodegradabilidad, medio ambientalmente adecuado e ignífugo.
