Jute and Shellac Disintegration Study

This document analyzes and summarizes the results of several tests on samples with varying combinations of jute and shellac. In a disintegration test, samples with more jute absorbed more water and broke down faster, while those with more shellac absorbed less water and took longer to disintegrate. In jet impingement tests, samples with more jute saw greater thickness reduction, while coated samples performed better than uncoated ones. An unconfined compression test revealed that shear strength increased with more jute but decreased with more shellac, though a combination of J5S3 showed the highest strength overall.

ANALYTICAL STUDY
In the Sample Disintegration Test, with increase in jute percentage there is more water
absorption and sample disintegrates quickly. With increase in shellac percentage water absorption
decreased and sample took quite long time to disintegrate as compared to other samples. Combination
of jute and shellac showed best results than the individual samples.

From the graph we


can say that coating
reduces water
absorption
although there is
very little
difference in water
absorption
between single
coat and double
coated samples.

In jet impingement tests with increase in jute percentage decrease in thickness is more in lower
percentages. In case of sintered white clay reduction in thickness due to jet was more as
compared to normal white clay. In case of shellac with increase in shellac percentage reduction
in thickness was less. In case of combination there was less reduction in thickness in jute
percentage with higher shellac samples. In general coated samples performed better than
uncoated samples and double coated samples performed well and there was no reduction at
all.

Uncoated sample showed


a greater decrease in
thickness than the coated
samples for lower
percentages of shellac.
Also, with increase in
shellac percentage there is
decrease in rate of
erosion.
In unconfined compression test with increase in shellac percentage shear strength of the
samples decreased and with increase in jute percentage shear strength of the sample
increased. In combination J5S3 yielded higher shear strength but a compromise was made
owing to the fact that J5S3 had more water absorption and eroded at faster rate in Jet test than
J5S5 so, J5S5 was selected to be plastered on the wall since our main aim was to decrease
permeability.

With increase in shellac


percentage shear strength
decreases and for jute
samples shear strength
increased with increase in
jute percentage while as in
combination J5S3 showed
higher shear strength.
