Popis:	The mechanical and physical properties of polyester composites filled with activated zeolites as fillers were investigated. Zeolite is an alumina silicate mineral that has cavity structures. The ability of the cavity structure can be maximized by activation using hydrochloric acid (HCl) 2 M. To achieve this goal, the zeolite was activated and proved it by performing morphological analysis using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to see the surface structure. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the activated zeolites content and hot press compression on the tensile and water absorption properties of polyester composites. The best tensile properties were found in ratio of unsaturated polyester with zeolite 70:30 (w:w) at a pressure of 125 Psi with a tensile strength of 38.51 MPa. SEM characterization showed a more rough breaking surface, that is in the ratio of polyester with zeolite 60:40 (w:w) at 75 Psi pressure because of the lack wetting between the matrix and activated zeolite. The water absorption of composite has increased as the addition of activated zeolite.
