The progress and development in materials technology has resulted in several new materials. Epoxy based composites is one of them. This paper presents the density, hardness, Tensile strength and Flexural strength properties of composites made from Boron nitride filler particles and epoxy resin (EPOFINE – 556 + FINEHARD- 951). The density, hardness, Tensile strength and Flexural strength tests of composites based on HBN filler particles at different filler contents viz. bare, 0%,1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% and their testing were carried out according to standards i.e. density (ASTM D792) hardness (ASTM D2583), tensile strength (ASTM D638) and flexural strength (ASTM D790) respectively and their results were presented. Experimental results showed that flexural for 1% constituent composites is best having flexural strength 108 Mpa and average tensile strength 43.56Mpa with density 1.18 g/cc and hardness 35.6 Barcol no, which is very helpful where flexural strength required high with low weight in industrial application.
