A laminated composite of sisal fiber - polyester resin was developed using tissue in a plane orthogonal setting [0/45]s used to manufacture the hand layup process and resin infusion . The actual fraction of resin was determined and the resulting porosity of the process was checked . The use of the process of infusion was found to have much greater control in the uniformity of the resin content for the type of fabric used for making fiber content of 30% by volume with a minimum quantity of pores in comparison with the hand layup process , the which was deficient to generate areas of high resin concentration and areas where it was drained by gravity to the low viscosity resins used . Infusion material obtained by microscopy and mechanical tests were evaluated. The paper concludes that the infusion process represents clear advantages for the development of natural fiber laminate compared the hand lay up method . Results are discussed and new lines of research for developing applications with these materials are proposed.
