Abstract: This paper investigates the chemical treated fiber reinforcement effect on the chemical resistance behavior of natural fiber reinforced polyester composite. A composite material was developed with jute fiber reinforcement in the polyester matrix. Jute fiber is reinforced in three different forms namely untreated, NaOH treated and Silane treated jute fibers. The chemical resistance property of the composite was investigated as per the ASTM standard. Six different chemicals were used to investigate the chemical resistance behavior of the composite. The chemical resistance property was increased with addition of treated jute fiber. All the tested composites exhibited positive results on the chemical resistance test.
