The development of composite materials became a quite attractive research field, due to their use in technological sectors. The current study faces the challenge to prioritize ecological benefits, cost reduction, increased quality of finished products and improve the processing techniques in the use of raw materials. Thus, it studies mechanical properties that include traction, flexion, compression and hardness of the composite formed from the combination of epoxy resin and powder of granitic rocks from Sergipe Fold Belt, which is located in Nossa Senhora da Glória County, Sergipe State. Two granite types called 53-A and 12-A with different mass percentages (0%, 30% and 50%) - were incorporated to the polymer matrix, Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), which was formed by Araldite polymer GY279 and the curing agent Aradur 2963. Chemical analyses show high ratio of SiO2 (silicone dioxide) and Al2O3 (aluminum oxide), their sums correspond to 65.06% and 65.92% in samples 53-A and 12-A. The mineralogical analyses of the rock show that sample 53-A presents higher volumetric percentage of alkaline feldspar [(K,Na)AlSi3O8]. MEV images show the rise of semi-elliptical marks on the surface of the pure epoxy resin crack and that the strong hardness of the particles works as a barrier to stop the propagation of some cracks, thus changing the natural propagation path along the particle/matrix interface. Composites manufactured out of the 53-A sample presented better performance in all the assays. Results show that once the concentration is increased in 50%, the resistance limit to compression is 79MPa, and it gives a maximum of 121% in comparison to the pure epoxy resin. The elasticity moduli increased in the traction, flexion and compression assays when the ratio of granite powder was also increased.
