Fire has been vital to humans since ancient times, initially used for warmth and cooking. Fire is a chemical process that requires 3 elements, namely oxygen, heat, and fuel. However, if uncontrolled, fire can be disastrous, leading to loss of life and destruction of buildings. To mitigate these risks, every building should have a fire safety plan. A fire door is a tool that must be present in every building and place inhabited by humans. Fire doors are able to reduce the negative effects of fire and give time to the occupants of the building to get out of the building when there is a fire. The project report explores the use of a mixture comprising gypsum and coconut coir ash as a potential fire-resistant door material. Experiments conducted in accordance with the MS 1073: Part 2:1996 standards demonstrated that this mixture can effectively increase the fire resistance of fire doors. The objective of this experiment is to increase the resistance of fire door using the mixture of gypsum and coconut coir ash. Twelve samples were tested, varying in thickness and different ratios of gypsum to coconut coir ash. The results indicated that the highest-rated sample, with a thickness of 12.7 mm and a ratio of 500g gypsum to 30g coconut coir ash, withstood high temperatures for an impressive 63 minutes. This exceeded the minimum requirement of withstanding 30 minutes, as specified by the MS1073: Part 2: 1996. These results clearly demonstrate the potential of coconut coir ash to enhance the fire resistance of fire doors. shafika UTM 78 p.
