Abstract

This study reports the synthesis of polyurethane from the cellulosic waste with the
purpose to recycle these residues into new alternative raw material in coating area and
will help the palm oil industry to overcome the biomass waste issue and tum them into
valuable product. In addition, it is more eco-friendly and required low cost for
processing. Extraction of cellulose from oil palm frond sawdust has been carried out
through reaction of alcohol-toluene with ratio 1:2 (v/v) by using soxhlet apparatus for
about five hours. Then, free extractive sawdust was dried in the oven for overnight.
The process was proceeding with reaction of ethylene glycol to produce a-glycoside
and p-glycoside. These glycosides were used for the synthesis of polyols. Next,
polyols that were obtained from previous step are used for the synthesis of
polyurethane. After that, polyurethane was chemical characterized by using FTIR
spectrometer.
