Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of natural clay stabilizers in mechanical and anti-leaching properties of vetiver-clay guard fence. Two kinds of clay stabilizer namely, natural rubber latex and molasses, were applied as stabilized materials in this study. The various portions of stabilizers were varied and the proportion of clay: sand: water was kept constant. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the natural rubber latex was the most suitable stabilizer. Mechanical and anti - leaching properties can be significantly increased by adding only 10% of natural rubber latex. Furthermore, the optimum mixture proportions with suitable molding technique can be applied to develop the vetiver-clay guard fence. The details of testing procedures and analysis of the results obtained were discussed.
