Mangosteen Peeling as Alternative Paint
CHAPTER I
Problem and its Background
Introduction:
This study uses Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) peeling. A peeling of Mangosteen is thick and contains extract that is the main component of this research. Compare to other fruit’s extract, Mangosteen peeling has the strongest because it’s extract sticks on hands when peeling this fruit. Varnish is a transparent, hard, protective finish or film primarily used in wood finishing but also for other materials. Varnish finishes are usually glossy but may be designed to produce satin or semi-gloss sheens by the addition of "flatting" agents. However, commercially available varnish has a bad effect on one’s health when inhaled because it is one of the examples of inhalant drugs. It can cause many changes in the body. Once the vapors enter the body, some are absorbed by parts of the brain and nervous system. All of the inhalants (except nitrites) slow down the body's functions, similar to the effects of drinking alcohol. At first someone gets excited, but then gets tired, has trouble speaking clearly or walking well, gets dizzy, loses inhibitions, and may get agitated. It can sometimes take up to 2 weeks for the chemical to completely pass from the body. It can also cause increased heart rate, hallucinations or delusions, losing feeling or consciousness, nausea and vomiting, loss of coordination and slurred speech. People who use inhalants regularly can develop dependence and tolerance to them, which means they need to take larger amounts of inhalants to get the same effect. People who are dependent on inhalants find that using the drug becomes far more important than other activities in their life. Aside from bad effect on one’s health, it is also highly flammable in their liquid state due to the presence of flammable solvents and oils. The main purpose of this study is to reduce the production of inhalant drugs inside the varnish. It also aims to determine the potential of using Mangosteen
