Resumen

This paper presents the determination of moisture and water solubles and insolubles of Carludovica Palmata (paja toquilla) fiber. To perform these tests using ASTM E871-82, ASTM D1110-84 and ASTM D1107-96 standars. In order to determine its use pontencial as reinforcement in composite materials and the influence on the mechanical strength. The moisture content of analyzed fiber corresponds to 5,33 % by weight. The percentage of soluble and insoluble components in water is 4,6 % and 21,874 %, respectively.
