ABSTRACT
The insertion of alternative raw materials in a manufacture of new composites implies in their detailed characterization, once there may be negative characteristics to their processing or final utilization, as it is the case of the sand content or mineral impurities. In this research, the sand content of panels manufacuture with different percentages of eucalypt fibers and sugarcane bagasse particles were determined in agreement with the available methodology and then compared to those found in the specialized literature. Main results showed that the increase of sugarcane bagasse percentage in the fibrous matrix of eucalypt in composites promotes expressive increase in the sand content.
