Abstract

Global warming has an impact on the decline in the quality of human life, as a result of the decline in the quality of the environment. To prevent and overcome these problems, an effort is needed, one of which is to produce an environmentally friendly product. Investment in environmentally friendly products is becoming an interesting trend as an effort to develop and use environmentally friendly products, one of which is green souvenirs. Green souvenirs can be a product solution to promote an environmentally friendly lifestyle with innovative products that come from the waste of daily living activities. One of them is used cooking oil. This product-based community service activity was carried out in Kayee Lee, Aceh Besar. This activity aims to produce green souvenir products. Education and promotion of environmentally friendly lifestyles for the community contribute to improving the quality of the environment. Activities that have been carried out in the form of socialization, and technical training in the process of making green souvenirs. The results of the service of the partner group have an understanding of the benefits of processing used cooking oil into green souvenirs. The training activities that have been carried out have produced green souvenir products in very varied shapes, colors, and motifs with an attractive appearance so that they are economically viable. Green souvenir product motifs can be customized for events such as seminars, graduations, birthdays, weddings, and decorative or household purposes. Green souvenir products that are expected to open up opportunities for business partners to increase family income also contribute to the environment and health.

Abstract

High-pressure laminates (HPL) is one of the applications of thermosetting resins for wood-based materials as protective and decorative panels covering building furniture. Melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin is one of the resins that play a role in the production of high-pressure laminates. This resin has low storage stability due to cross-linking between free melamine methylols accompanied by a decrease in pH during the storage process. This study aims to improve the storage stability of melamine-formaldehyde resin by adding borax as a buffering agent. Synthesis of MF resin was conducted by polymerization and condensation steps followed by the addition of borax at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% when the endpoint was reached. The characterization of the resin includes the analysis of the physical and chemical parameters of the resin and the analysis of the functional groups of the resin by FT-IR. Storage stability study of MF resin was carried out by daily visual observation and determination of daily changes in pH and viscosity. MF resin was further used in the production of high-pressure laminates. High-pressure laminates characterization includes quality analysis based on SNIISO4586-7:2017 and analysis gloss level. In this study, 1.5% MF borax resin had the highest storage stability, namely 11 days. HPL quality analysis complies with SNIISO4586-7:2017 standards. High-pressure laminates of 1.5% borax MF resin has the highest gloss level, which is 115.
