Study the Physical Properties of Agricultural Waste for Industries Handicrafts Product, Bantumsue Community Phetchaburi Province

Abstract

This research 1) to study and analyze the relationship between the context of industrial handicrafts, properties of agricultural waste in community areas and 2) to agricultural waste to find physical properties and the industrial handicrafts for Bantumsua community, Phetchaburi province. From primary data it was found the relationship of the community with the context of industrial crafts is a culture of agricultural wisdom from the collection of participatory research data. Found method and test the properties of paper pulp from agricultural waste where banana leaves = A, bamboo leaves = B and pineapple leaves = C.
Use the formula for quantifying the triangular grid the Trixie Blend Diagram to uses caustic sodium hydroxide 10-15% of dry weight. There are 7 test items, 1 formula thin and thickness (a) according to the experimental standard, referring to the community product standards, plant fiber paper. For testing as follows: 1) standard average weight from the test of paper size 45x85 cm operation number list of the experimental formula
test section 1.1) standard weight the overall average is equal to 220 grams/sqm., 1.2) part 2 tear strength which is strong = 3(10a) at 1,962 mN, the second strength = 1(8a) at 1,907 mN and third = 6(13a)
at 1,467 mN. 1.3) Part 3 the overall moisture content of the paper the experiment found the humidity level is within the normal level at ± 10%, which is complete and can be developed into a products or package.
2) Summary of physical properties the color characteristics of the paper according to provide color tones gray-brown and different beautiful suitable for the screen-printing and using large size rubber stamp. Process forming can produce use by semi-automatic heat setting at 140˚C at time of 70 seconds per piece is suitable for further expansion to create industrial handicrafts for the community.
