Minarex is processing oil that is used in the rubber industry and printing ink . PT
Pertamina UP IV Cilacap is the manager of the national oil and gas that produces Minarex .
Minarex can be used for development in the construction field . Minarex to be used as an added
material is expected to improve the quality of paving blocks . Paving blocks are widely used in
construction , such as pavement , highways , parking lots .
From results of research conducted, it is expected that the paving block by using a mixture of
aggregate minarex added so as to improve the results of the compressive strength of paving
blocks. Comparison of the composition by weight of cement and aggregate is 1 : 12, the
percentage variation of the sample minarex A : 1 % , B : 2 % , C : 3 % , D : 4 % and E : 5 % of
the overall weight .
This research resulted in a maximum compressive strength of fc’ 19.7377 Mpa contained on
concrete samples C and a minimum compressive strength of fc ' 19 646 Mpa concrete samples
contained in B. No significant differences in compressive strength when using minarex H or
without using minarex H.
