Abstract:
This ceiling board from cement and wood dust are used as internal finishing materials as decorative in all
construction industry and are used to cover the roof truss it can be used as insulation materials because it has
good properties for it. Their production was based on industrial materials and done by my hand so we
decided to use local waste materials like wood dust in the production it will reduce the pollution of
environment, increasing the job creation and support Made in Rwanda policy as long as transforming the
waste into new product it will solve the environmental hazard caused by discriminate of the waste materials.
During this project which has Dimension (60cm*60cm*2cm) was manufactured in wood dust the test have
been carried out such as moisture content and result found are good for moisture content according to
ASTM D1579 01(2023) say that moisture content of wood dust less than 6% is good type of wood dust to
mix with wood fix glue, we use cypress wood dust because has lower moisture content.
This board works well and is reasonably priced, making it suitable for use as interior finishing element in
any type of construction.
