Abstract
This research attempts to find the cheap and accessible fibers as an asbestos replacement in the production of fiber cement board. In this research, waste Kraft pulp which gained from waste cardboard in corporation with two polymeric fibers; acrylic and polypropylene fibers which are normally used in fabric industry, were used. In both groups, nano silica was used as an additive. Mechanical characteristics of the specimens were tested and analyzed according to relevant standards.The results showed that the specimens made out of waste cardboard and acrylic fibers could meet the standard's requirements and have adequate potential to be used as an alternative of asbestos.
