In this study a preparation of composite materials with a polyester base reinforced by low cost industrial waste and weight fraction from of powder (1,3,5,7,9) % wt of marble particles prepared by manually technique. Mechanical properties have been studied and discussed. The results showed that the new composite materials supported by marble particle gave high results in resistance to hardness, bending and tensile strength compared to the based matrix. This is due to the presence of marble particle, which reduces the concentration of stresses of the base material, and as a result reduces the growth of cracks on the base material. Therefore, the mechanical properties increase with adding of the reinforced particles.
