Abstract
Polyurethane modified epoxy based on glycerol monooleate (PME-GMO) was synthesized. GMO as polyol for synthesis of PME-GMO was synthesized via Fisher Esterification between oleic acid from palm oil and glycerol by using sulfuric acid as catalyst with time variation i.e. 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours at 160°C. Characterizations of GMO were carried out by analysis of acid number, hydroxyl value and FTIR. The data show that the conversion of oleic acid to ester compound is directly proportional with the increasing of reaction time but the enhancement is not significant after 3 hours. Furthermore, GMO product was used as polyol for modification of epoxy with polyurethane. Modification of epoxy with polyurethane was performed by reacted epoxy, tolonate and GMO simultaneously in one step. In this research, the reaction condition was varied i.e. time reaction (0.5; 1; 1.5; 2; 2.5 hours), composition of polyurethane used (10%, 20% toward epoxy) and rasio of tolonate and GMO (NCO/OH ratio) as component of polyurethane (1.5 and 2.5). Characterization of polyurethane modified epoxy based on glycerol (PME-GMO) was conducted by viscosity and FTIR analysis. The viscosity of PME-GMO increased with increasing of reaction time, polyurethane composition and NCO/OH ratio.
