<![CDATA[This research is using experimental method. The materials used are epoxy and hardener and the reinforcing material is shellfish powder which will later be varied with a 40,60,100 mesh sieve and raw material (sliding pad) as a comparison. Mechanical tests that will be carried out are wear tests, hardness tests and microstructure tests. The results of the wear test showed that the wear value of the raw material (sliding pad) was 4.07x〖10〗^(-5) mm^3/kg, the 40 mesh sieve was 0.93x〖10〗^(-5) mm^3/kg , the result of 60 mesh sieve is 1.11x〖10〗^(-5) mm^3/kg, the result is 100 mesh 1x〖10〗^(-5) mm^3/kg. The results of the raw material (sliding pad) hardness test are 4.42 HB, the results of 40 mesh sieve are 16.62 HB, the results are 60 mesh sieves 15.58 HB, the results of 100 mesh sieves are 15.92 HB. In the wear test, the highest wear value is raw material (sliding pad) 4.07x〖10〗^(-5) mm^3/kg and the lowest is a 40 mesh shell powder composite 0.93x〖10〗^(-5 ) mm^3/kg. While the hardness test which has the highest hardness value is 40 mesh16.62HB and the lowest is raw material (sliding pad) 4.42 HB. The microstructure test for hole defects (pores) is mostly 40 mesh shellfish powder composite and the one that has no hole defects (pores) is raw material (sliding pad).]]>
