Kraft Paper Alternatives: Findings & Insights

The document summarizes the results of a study on using coconut husks and chicken feathers as alternative components in kraft paper making. It found that while treatments with these materials had acceptable textures, they were not comparable to commercial kraft paper in terms of texture, acceptability, or tear strength. The conclusion is that coconut husks and chicken feathers are not acceptable alternative components for kraft paper making.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary of Findings

The results showed that Treatment C had a smooth texture and was highly

acceptable in terms of overall acceptability, but it was not comparable to commercialized

Kraft paper. Treatment B had Mean tear strength of 3.92 N, which was higher than

Treatment C but not comparable to Treatment D.

The results from texture of the Kraft paper show that treatment D had a significant

difference with the other treatments. While, treatment A has no significant difference

with treatment B.

The results from general acceptability of the Kraft paper show that treatment D

has a significant difference with the other treatments. While treatment A has no

significant difference with treatment B.

Regarding tear strength of the Kraft paper, treatment D has a significant difference

between other treatments. Treatment A also has a significant difference with treatment B.

While treatment C had no significant difference with treatments A and B.

This indicates that using coconut husks and chicken feathers are acceptable but

not comparable to commercialized Kraft paper in terms of texture, general acceptability

and tear strength.

Conclusion

1. Coconut husk and chicken feathers are not acceptable as alternative

components in kraft paper making.

2. Coconut husk and chicken feathers are not acceptable as alternative

components in kraft paper making in terms of texture, general acceptability and tear

strength.

3. Neither of the kraft paper with different amount of coconut husk and

chicken feathers is acceptable in kraft paper making in terms of texture, general

acceptability and tear strength.

4. There is significant difference in the kraft papers with different amount

of coconut husks and chicken feathers that are acceptable in kraft paper making in terms

of texture, general acceptability and tear strength.

Recommendations

1. Investigate other potential natural fibres or waste materials that could be

used as a component in Kraft paper making.

2. Conduct further research on the optimal amount of coconut husks and

chicken feathers that could be added to Kraft paper without compromising its texture,

general acceptability, and tear strength.

3. Explore different processing techniques that could be used to enhance

the properties of Kraft paper made with coconut husk and chicken feathers.
