I.INTRODUCTION

According to worldometers 108,106,310 of population here in philippiines 6.1% of it

go to department store from 6.9% at 2016 it decreases into 6.1% now in 2018,because many

people can’t afford this varnish and they are tired to go in the department store or paint store

just to buy it.Instead of buying varnish they can use their initiative to provide their own

varnish.Varnish helps people to provide radiant beauty to the wood,it helps in protecting the

wood by binding the surface,helps to prevent hairline cracks and absorb the effects of

scratching and external damage.helps in reducing the transfer of moisture between the wood

and the surrounding weather,provides softness and lasting flexibility. According to Wikipedia

varnish is a clear transparent hard protective finish or film. Varnish has little or no color and has

no added pigment as opposed to paint or wood stain which contains pigment. However, some

varnish products are marketed as a combined stain and varnish. Varnish is primarily used

in wood finishing applications where the natural tones and grains in the wood are intended to

be visible. It is applied over wood stains as a final step to achieve a film for gloss and

protection. Varnish finishes are usually glossy but may be designed to produce satin or semi-

gloss sheens by the addition of "flatting" agents.They can use filmstrips as an alternative for

varnish because filmstrip has the color that fades and it’s color is like with varnish.Nowadays

filmstrip is been abandoned by many person and it is because of the modern technology that

we are entertaining right now.That’s why the researchers use thier initiative to make it useful

for them.To be able to help those people are poor the researchers use this research as a

instrument or guide for them,so that when they do this strategy they will be aiming success of

beautifying wood furnitures.However the researchers are not sure that they will follow this

format that’s why they will try their best to make their methodology very easy for them to

follow and understand easily.The researchers measured that this is not be an expensive one

but affordable one.To those who are interested and willing to do this just do it the researchers

will not force you but they will assure you that it is incomparable and not common like any

other.This paper presents the flow and effects of the result of this research.

If you are economical and innovative using recycable materials you really care and it

will give value to this because according to Annie Leonard “There is no such thing as away,

When people throw anything away it must go somewhere.It says there that theres no things

that is useless on this world because the things that are thrown away will not just go anywhere
they can benefit from it,a very good example here is the filmstrip and they can benefit from by

turning it in to varnish.

A.STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

 Is there a possibilty that a filmstrip can be an alternative for varnish?

 What makes filmstrip varnish comparable to the other one?

B.OBJECTIVES

 To find out whether filmstrips can be an alternative for varnish

 To know whether it is effective or not

 To invistigate the expectations of the researchers in this dynamic research

C.Significance of the study

Poor people -to be able to save money,so that their expenses will become less

Furniture business man -to use that is not common to everyone, it will not cause them a high

expenses

Future researchers -to get a new idea in this research,and to earn more information

D.Hypothesis

Filmstrip is effective alternative for varnish because the researchers see that filmstrip

now is been abandoned because of the modern technology now.Instead of buying you can use

this filmstrip to be an alternative for varnish because varnish and filmstrip has a similarities in

their compound nitrocellulose and also varnish has a ultraviolet Ray's that is found also in

filmstrip.
E.DEFINITION OF TERMS

In this research, the term laquer is used to mean “varnish.”

In this research, the term emulsion is used to mean “water-based that can use for walls.”

In this research, the term initiative is used to mean “to make or move without being told by

someone.”

In this research, the term investigate is used to mean “to prove that is something is real.”

In this research, the term nitration is used to mean “a group of nitro that is been combined.

IV.PRELIMINARY LITERATURE REVIEW

Photographic emulsion is a light-sensitive colloid used in film-based photography.

Most commonly, in silver-gelatin photography, it consists of silver halide crystals dispersed

in gelatin. The emulsion is usually coated onto a substrate of glass, films (of cellulose

nitrate, cellulose acetate or polyester), paper, or fabric.

Photographic emulsion is not a true emulsion, but a suspension of solid particles (silver

halide) in a fluid (gelatin in solution). However, the word emulsion is customarily used in a

photographic context. Gelatin or gum arabic layers sensitized with dichromate used in the

dichromated colloid processes carbon and gum bichromate are sometimes called emulsions.

Some processes do not have emulsions, such as platinum, cyanotype, salted paper, or kallitype.

Nitrocellulose (also known as cellulose nitrate, flash paper, flash cotton, guncotton,

and flash string) is a highly flammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through

exposure to nitric acid or another powerful nitrating agent. When used as a propellant or low-

order explosive, it was originally known as guncotton.This nitrocellulose is also found in varnish

and also this is a compound element.

Nitrocellulose Laquer Solvent-based lacquers that contain nitrocellulose, a resin

obtained from the nitration of cotton and other cellulosic materials, debuted in the 19th century

along with nitrocellulose's other commercial applications. They were used, for example, on

brass items such as musical instruments. Faster-drying and more durable versions of these
lacquers were developed in the early 1920s and soon greatly displaced much use of the slower-

drying paints and lacquers that preceded them; they were extensively used in the automotive

industry and others for the next 30 years until further chemical advancements replaced them.

V.METHODOLOGY

Materials:

 Water

 Tiner

 Picher

 Stove

 Bottle(any brand)

 Film strip

 Pots
MEASUREMENTS:

 WATER 1.5 liters

 12 inches of Film strips

 TINER 500 mL

 0.75 liter bottle container

PROCEDURES:

 First, put the 1.5 liters of water on the pot with 12 inches of film strip

 Second, boil the the water with filmstrip up to 30 mins. In the stove until we can get the

extract

 Third, remove the pot on stove and wait it will get warm

 Fourth, get only 250 ml of the extract then mix it with the 500 ml tiner

 Last, put the mixture into the 0.75 liter of container
