Abstract: This research was done to test the physical and thermal properties of the pineapple’s fiber insulators. By mixing the corn leaves with rubber latex at the ratio of 40:60 and studying the properties of the insulator such as density, water permeability and thermal conductivity. From the experiment, it was found that the average density of pineapples fiber insulator was 682.2 kg/m3, which was higher than the density of commercial insulator, but on the other hand, pineapples fiber insulator has a very low water permeability that is considered no water permeability and also has a very low thermal conductivity compared to commercial insulators such as Fiber cement board, particleboard and gypsum board. As a result, pineapples fiber insulators can insulate heat more than other insulators. Therefore, the development of pineapples fiber insulator is possible to be practical.
