 MAKE HOMEMADE GLUE FROM MILK

I. ABSTRACT

We students conduct this study due to the problems in

the school, work or home. We aim to make a product(glue)
that is easy to make and has an equal quality like those in
the market. The researchers aimed to develop a new
product that will benefit the students like us. To this
objective, our team comes up with the idea of creating
glue based from milk. Glue has been an important material
at home, at school and at office. Most of the commercially
available glue is claiming to be non-toxic. However, we are
still uncertain of this claim since they contain preservatives
that may harm both the user and the environment. Casein,
a protein obtained from milk, has been long proven to play
an important role in the production of glue. It can be
obtained from milk by means of adding vinegar into the
milk. The curd formed from the reaction is mixed with
baking soda. The produced glue from milk may vary in
consistency depending upon the amount of milk, vinegar,
water and baking soda used. Other research conducted
claims that glue made from milk casein is waterproof and
can be used for bottle labeling and cigarette packaging.
The product produced by our team is cheap and effective.
Students can replicate our procedures to create their own
milk glue.
II. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

 Chapter I: INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

The scientific name of glue is “Cyanoacrylates”.

Glue is the chief topic in this investigatory project. Glue is widely used worldwide.
From schools to offices, from homes to buildings, glue is always present to help in
individuals in their daily lives. This material can be used in simple works or as an
emergency utensil; from torn books to stripped parts of paper works; this tool is very
significant in our lives.

Glue is a sticky material (usually a liquid) that can stick two or more things together.
Glue can be made from plant or animal parts, or it can be made from oil-based
chemicals. The first glues may have been natural liquids that come out of trees when
they are cut. Later people learned to make glue by boiling animal feet, cartilage or
bones. Some very strong glue is made from fish bones, rubber or milk. Simple glue can
be made at home by mixing wheat flour and water. This glue will stick pieces of paper
together. Many kinds of art can be made using glue. A collage is a work of art made by
using glue to stick colored things onto paper.

Some glue can be used to keep water out of boats, buildings or vehicles. In this case
the glue may be called caulk. Some man-made materials, including wood-like materials,
are made using glues to bind together small pieces of material or powders. These
qualities of our project, the homemade glue, really come in handy to our fellows with
problems about toxics in their homes. This project isn’t only helpful to us, but is also
easy to organize in times of financial crisis and emergencies to come.

B. Statement of The Problem

Which is more effective the Commercial ones or Homemade Glue which is only
made of Milk?

Sub-problems

1. Is it effective?

2. Are the ingredients easy to find?

3. Is it eco-friendly?

1.

C. Hypothesis

I, the researcher, hypothesized that my homemade glue using milk can be alternative
glue encase of emergency when there is no available glue. You can just make your own
and it's easy to make and find the materials.

D. Significance of the Study

Everybody can benefit from this study, because without this kind of study,
especially the students. It can benefit the students when they need to paste their test
results in their notebooks. In making their school projects and they have projects to
make in their respective houses.

The people who will benefit from this home-made glue are the following:

1st are we, as a Student we all need glue to sticking our test results in our notebooks.

2nd is the people who works in the office might need glue because they use it as the
paste their finished product to be submitted to their boss.

3rd is the teachers, they will need in order to paste the students test result in the
notebook.

E. Scope and Limitations

The aspects were covered by the study is that students don’t buy commercial
glues which are expensive. They can just make their own glue using milk and other
ingredients which are only found in the house. It may take a couple of hours to make.
The limitations of the study that we should know is that to make homemade glue using
only materials found in our house no need to buy expensive glue. Just make your own
homemade glue, it’s easy and affordable.

F. Definition of terms

• Casein glue - made from casein; used for e.g. plywood and cabinetwork

• Casein- the main protein present in milk and (in coagulated form) in cheese. It is
used in processed foods and in adhesives, paints, and other industrial products.

• Sodium Bicarbonate- sodium bicarbonate used in cooking, for cleaning, or in

toothpaste.

• Vinegar- a sour-tasting liquid containing acetic acid, obtained by fermenting dilute

alcoholic liquids, typically wine, cider, or beer, and used as a condiment or for pickling.

Chapter II: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A. Review of Literature

When I searched Google about the homemade glue, there were many related
study. Some use cassava flour in making glue some use Styrofoam, honey in making.
When I found out that milk can also be used as alternative glue combining with the other
ingredients in making homemade glue.

The glue that I’ll be experimenting is called “Casein Glue.”

Casein glue is the name for a family of related phosphoproteins (αS1, αS2, β, κ). These
proteins are commonly found in mammalian milk, making up 80% of the proteins in cow
milk and between 20% and 45% of the proteins in human milk. Casein has a wide
variety of uses, from being a major component of cheese, to use as a food additive, to a
binder for safety matches. As a food source, casein supplies amino acids,
carbohydrates, and the two inorganic elements calcium and phosphorus.

Milk

Is a white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It is the primary

source of nutrition for young mammals before they are able to digest other types of
food. Early-lactation milk contains colostrum, which carries the mother's antibodies to
the baby and can reduce the risk of many diseases in the baby. It also contains many
other nutrients. As an agricultural product, milk is extracted from mammals during or
soon after pregnancy and used as food for humans. Worldwide, dairy farms produced
about 730 million tons of milk in 2011. India is the world's largest producer and
consumer of milk, yet neither exports nor imports milk. New Zealand, the European
Union's 28 member states, Australia, and the United States are the world's largest
exporters of milk and milk products. China and Russia are the world's largest importers
of milk and milk products. Throughout the world, there are more than 6 billion
consumers of milk and milk products. Over 750 million people live within dairy farming
households. Milk is a key contributor to improving nutrition and food security particularly
in developing countries. Improvements in livestock and dairy technology offer significant
promise in reducing poverty and malnutrition in the world.

Vinegar

Are liquids consisting mainly of acetic acid (CH3 COOH,) and water. The acetic acid
is produced by the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. Vinegar is now
mainly used as a cooking ingredient, but historically, as the most easily available mild
acid, it had a great variety of industrial, medical, and domestic uses, some of which
(such as a general household cleanser) are still promoted today. There are many types
of vinegar such as: coconut, cane balsamic, apple cider and many more.

Baking soda or Sodium Bicarbonate

Is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate is a

white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slightly salty,
alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). The natural mineral
form is nahcolite. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many
mineral springs. It is among the food additives encoded by European Union, identified
by the initials E 500. Since it has long been known and is widely used, the salt has
many related names such as baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate
of soda. In colloquial usage, its name is sometimes shortened to sodium bicarb, bicarb
soda, or simply bicarb. The word saleratus, from Latin sal æratus meaning aerated salt,
was widely used in the 19th century for both sodium bicarbonate and potassium
bicarbonate. The term has now fallen out of common usage.

Introduction:

We would like to introduce our Investigatory Project,

Homemade Glue from Milk. With milk, white vinegar and baking
soda, you can make your own glue right at home. Make it an
investigatory project by changing up the recipe and testing which
results in the strongest glue. You could also try varying the
ingredients to make it dry faster, or work on different materials
(wood vs. plastic vs. paper).
