This document discusses using river tamarind leaves as the primary ingredient in producing floor wax. It provides background on river tamarind, noting that it is a fast-growing tree commonly found in the Philippines. The study aims to determine the consequences and best variety of river tamarind leaves for making floor wax, and how it compares to commercial floor wax. The significance is that it could provide a sustainable and cost-effective source of floor wax for poverty-stricken people using a common plant. The scope is focused on producing river tamarind floor wax at a high school from May to June.

EMPLOYING THE USE OF RIVER

TAMARIND (Leucaena leucocephala)


LEAVES AS A PRIMARY INGREDIENT
IN THE PRODUCTION OF FLOORWAX

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study


River Tamarind(Leucaena leucocephala) also known as, white lead tree.
Leucaena originated from the greek verb leukainein meaning “to become white”, while
leucocephala also came from the greek words leukos meaning “white” and cephale
meaning “head”.
Ipil-Ipil is very common to find alongside mountains and even in your backyard.
According to the website feedipedia.org (Heuzé V., Tran G., 2015). Ipil-Ipil (River
Tamarind) is a fast-growing, evergreen, thornless shrub. It also has a deep taproot and
is highly branched. Leaves are bipinnate, bearing numerous leaflets 8 mm to 16 mm
long (Cook et al., 2005) River Tamarind (Leucaena leucocephala) is very easy to grow
and make floor wax at a low cost. It’s also a large tree spanning within 5m to 20m.
Ipil-Ipil is largely used as animal feed and fertilizer. According to (Godofredo U.
Stuart Jr., M.D, 2021). In the Philippines, the traditional healers in Zamboanga del Sur,
use leaves for the treatment of parasitic worms, such as ascaris and trichinosis. Its
seeds can also be used for stomachache, contraceptives, and abortifacients.
Given this position, the researchers were inspired to create a low-price and
efficient way of producing floor wax to make floors smooth with the help of repelling
stains and spills to make it easier for cleaning. The unused Ipil-Ipil can be made into
fertilizer for crops, possible treatment for parasitic worms and stomach ache.

Statement of the Problem


Generally, The purpose of this research is to investigate the efficiency of River
Tamarind leaves as a primary ingredient in making floor wax.
Specifically, This study will conclude:
1. What are the consequences of using River Tamarind leaves as an ingredient in floor
wax?
2. Which River Tamarind leaf variety, in terms of color, flavor, texture, shine, and overall
acceptance, can make a better floor wax?
3. Does River Tamarind floor wax considerably differ from commercial floor wax when
applied to a concrete surface?

Significance of the Study


The findings of this study may be useful for the following:
1. Results could help benefit people in poverty, therefore making them a Sustainable
Source of floor wax using the common plant named River Tamarind.
2. This study helps people so that they will never buy Floor wax, make their own River
Tamarind floor wax, and sell the River Tamarind Floorwax and make possible income
from it.
3. This study will enhance involvement in the school and people because they can make
their own River Tamarind Floor wax with its primary ingredient being found anywhere,
making it cost-efficient.
4. This could Motivate and challenge the school administration to share the Product and
Spread it to other people and it will become popular, they can make their own floor wax
made of River Tamarind for a low cost.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study


This study is focused on engaging the use of River Tamarind (Leucaena
leucocephala) in the production floor wax. This will be conducted at the Tantangan
National High School from May-June.

Definition of Terms

River Tamarind (Leucaena leucocephala) - One of the trees with the fastest rate of
growth, and will be the primary ingredient in the production of floor wax.

Floor wax - dries quickly, is non-sticky, and buffs easily to a sheen while providing
interior timber floors, both new and recovered, with deep nurturing protection.
