Abstract

A super hydrophobic coating for piping surfaces in a power plant was developed based on coconut oil extraction because in the power industry the need for super hydrophobic coating was increased rapidly, due to cost-effectiveness and environmentally friendly. The super hydrophobicity of the coating is self-cleaning, preventing blockage and extending the pipe life span. The coconut oil is extracted from coconut water by boiling process. A huge volume of environmental friendly resins can be formed from coconut oil. The usage of different percentage of coconut oil as the environmental friendly synthesized with solvent and hardener to form super hydrophobic coating. The result of adhesion test (ASTM D3359-02) will be taken to identify which percentages of environmental friendly resin mixture have the strongest adhesion force. For scratch resistance Test (ASTM D3363) we can analyze which coating that have the highest scratch resistance. Next, water droplet test (ASTM D2247-15) will be been conducted to measure the contact surface angle on each different percentage of environmental friendly resin mixture specimens. It will revealed which sample produce a high super hydrophobic effect. Lastly, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) will be used in order to capture the images and surface roughness of each sample.
