ABSTRACT Fabrication of a PVA - Natural Zeolite based ceramic has been done by using solid reaction method. Temperatur activation of Natural Zeolite at 300 oC. The mixed raw of ceramic ZA-PVA compound was pressed with 10 kN load and then sintered up to 200 oC. There are nine different composition was analyzed in this experiment : Natural Zeolite-PVA = 10:90 (wt%), 20:80 (wt%), 30:70 (wt%), 40:60 (wt%), 50:50 (wt%), 60:40 (wt%), 70:30 (wt%), 80:10 (wt%), dan 90:10 (wt%). Three different characterization procedures has been done in this experiment including its thermal conductivity, density, and porosity analysis. The result shows that the entire properties increased with the addition of Natural Zeolite fraction wt% in the ceramic sample. Key words : Natural Zeolite, Activation of Natural Zeolite, PVA, and solid reaction method.
