Thermal conductivity is defined as the science of knowing the energy transfer due to temperature difference between objects or material. Material that can conduct heat well called conductors while the less well called an insulator. Thermal conductivity is a function of temperature and will increase slightly if temperature rises, but the variations are small and often negligible. In this research is focused on determining the value of thermal conductivity values or constants of a polyester resin composite material with the addition of a particle of montmorillonite (MMT). The addition of montmorillonite particles is done by particle size variations, with the hope of composite particle with amplifier has an insulating properties of montmorillonite and thickness, good heat. The method used is hand lay up. Variables used include variation in particle size with the size of the mesh 20, 40, 60, 80, 100.120, and 150. The results obtained from the study of thermal conductivity values. The value of the thermal conductivity of composite optimal i.e. of 14 mW/moC, mesh size 60. As for the value of the thermal conductivity of composite minimum of 4 mW/moC, at the size of the mesh. The thermal conductivity of composite value is below the value of the thermal conductivity of sempel control (tampa addition of particles to montmoriilonite). From the analysis of the data, it can be concluded that the large particle size semkin then the better inhibit heat and power compared to the stronger composite sempel control.
