Influence of Bio Polymer Composites as Heat Absorption Coating

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to study the reduction of internal temperature and heat absorption of building prototype after coated with bio polymer composites. Waste cooking oil has been treated with chemical process and mixed with Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to produce polymer coating. K-Type thermometer was employed to measure the outside and inside temperature before coated and after coated with bio polymer. The external surface of prototype building the roof was coated with bio polymer up to 3 layers, with 0.50 mm thickness for each layer. The measured temperature shows the reduction of the outside roof temperature is 13.65 °C, while the reduction of the inside roof temperature is 12.61 °C. This reduction of temperature is influenced by the thickness of the bio polymer coating.
