 RATIONALE

ATIONAL
Adhesives and sealants are widely used due to their versatility, but
traditional polymer-based sealants derived from crude oil contribute to
pollution and resource depletion.

Gum Arabic, a natural polysaccharide from Acacia trees, has long been
used in adhesives and various industries, offering sustainable
alternatives.

Research suggests that Acacia sap can serve as a high-adhesion gum-

based sealant with increasing bond, compressive, and tensile strength
over time.
THE PROBLEM
TATEMENT O STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
This research aims to answer the following questions will
answer the following questions:

[Link] are the general quality attributes of Acacia sap

gum-based sealants to provide maximum adaptability
and durability in diverse environmental conditions,
considering:
1.1 Hydrophobic Properties
1.2 High-adhesion Properties
1.3 Surface Properties

2. How can the Acacia sap gum-based sealant

formulation be designed to adapt to varying:
2.1 Surface Type
2.2 Stress and Strain Conditions

3. Is there a significant difference in hydrophobic and

high-adhesion properties between differing Acacia sap
(Acacia senegal) contents in Acacia sap gum-based
sealants?

CONCLUSION CONCLUSION

• Lower concentrations of Acacia gum enhance water resistance, while higher

concentrations improve adhesion strength, particularly on glass.
• The sealants exhibit the strongest adhesion on glass, moderate adhesion on
plastic, and the weakest on metal.
• They demonstrate durability and adaptability under changing environmental
conditions.
• Statistical analyses confirm that variations in Acacia sap content significantly
affect hydrophobic and adhesive properties.
• These findings provide a foundation for optimizing natural sealants for
various industrial applications.
ECOMMENDATIO RECOMMENDATION

The following recommendations are suggested for future researchers:

[Link] following recommendations are suggested for future researchers
[Link] the Surface Drying Time and Full System Curing Time.
[Link] researchers should conduct long-term weather resistance testing to
determine the sealant’s durability against factors such as UV exposure,
temperature fluctuations, and moisture.
[Link] studies should conduct mechanical testing to evaluate the sealant’s
flexibility, durability and adhesion to different roofing materials.
