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.
