The use of natural fibers as reinforcement in composite materials has become a global trend, but the use is very limited, and even less the production of these materials locally. This work is a experimental analysis conducted to determine the behavior of the mechanical properties of the composite made of LDPE-Wood Fiber, specifically resistance to tension, compression and bending, and evaluates the influence of the variation of the constituent elements of the compound and the origin of the wood fiber.

Keywords : Mechanical properties; wood-plastic composite; LDPE; red cedar.
