questions:
1. How long it takes for the total effect of the jackfruit sap roof sealant?
This study will aid in the discovery of additional applications for natural
substances, and its outcomes may benefit society in general by providing carpenters
and repairmen with a new tool for halting the progression of leaks. The key
advantage of this study is that it introduces a new kind of sealant for stopping leaks.
The environment should gain from this study since the mixture's ingredients are eco-
friendly and nontoxic when compared to commercial sealants. This study is found to
be helpful to future researchers because they may develop a study from simple
things that may have great effects. The primary function of the mixture is to seal
metal roof breaks, which is in line with the work that plumbers, carpenters, and
This study covered the Sealant property of the Jackfruit sap. The study
consisted of the sap that are used as the source of the Latex to be used in making
the Roof Sealant. Testing of the jackfruit sap sealant involved the durability and the
lasting of the sealant. The researcher limited this research of testing the jackfruit sap
in Asia, Americas and Caribbean with minimal input costs. As the major component

Many facts about roof Sealant were stated in the study of Irvine (2019). "If
standing water remains 48 hours after a rain shower, problems such as material
degradation, loss of adhesion, and flaking can result," he said. He also mentioned
the typical prices of roof sealants as well as the different types of coating roof
sealants have. In his piece. He had specified 12 different roof Sealant components,
as well as what each component can contribute to the roof Sealant. He keeps

The researchers discovered that their school made excessive usage of Styrofoam.
To save money instead of paying for commercial roof sealants, they experimented
with turning Styrofoam into roof sealant. They combined Styrofoam and gasoline for
their experiment. Although it was never indicated whether this was a success, the
material was quite intriguing. So if we retrieved information about what people look
for in their roof Sealants from the product question and answer page of Bostik, a
commercial roof Sealant. We learned about the various components of roof Sealant.
What the general public expects from the warranty, what temperatures people
expect roof sealant to withstand, and whether or not customers can use their product

They thrive in India, Bangladesh, and many parts of Southeast Asia. It is one of the
most important evergreen trees in tropical areas and is widely grown throughout
Asia, including India. It is a medium-sized tree that can grow to be 28 to 80 feet tall
and is easily accessible for its fruit. The fruit is produced on the tree's side and main
branches. A fruit's average weight ranges from 3.5 to 10 kg, with some fruits
weighing up to 25 kg. The hunt for lesser-known and underutilized crops, many of
which have the potential to be valuable as human and animal food, has included
jackfruits, which have recently been the focus of research. Many people who live in
the mountains have been struggling with money because they are so far away from
their local market. If they have holes in their roof that always leak when it rains
during cold weathers, jackfruit gum can be a great choice to use as a roof sealant.
The best part is, it's actually free if you have jackfruit growing in your backyard.
Jackfruit contains Latex, which can also be found in other roof sealants. It also
contains 82.6 to 86.4% resins, which can be used to make varnish. In terms of the
significance of sealant, the function and value of this sticky substance play a critical

application, with the purpose of protecting against dust, smoke, gas, air, and water.
Sealants of various types are used to protect various types of surfaces, such as dry
walls and roofs from external damage. A sealant is also used to protect flat and
sloping roofs for many years. These sealants can take the form of rubber, tar, paint,
and "unsinkability," it was first used in a six-man life raft by the Coast Guard in 1942.
Styrofoam can be used to make insulated sheathing, pipe insulation, and floral and
notable buildings and facilities. The Dow product is distinguished by its distinctive
blue color. Roof Sealant to begin with, a sealant is defined as a viscous material that
solidifies after application, with the purpose of preventing dust, smoke, gas, air,
water, and other unwanted materials. Sealants of various types are used to protect
various surfaces from external damage, such as drywall and roofs. In this article,
we'll learn more about roof sealants and how they're used to protect the roofing
system as well as the house from external damage caused by weather, drainage,
and other factors. Because different types of roofs are made of different materials, so
are the sealants that go with them. A roof sealant is also used on flat and sloping
Rubber, tar, paint, concrete, or any other durable covering material that can
withstand external pressure Roof sealant is very important for protecting the roof and
the house from extreme weather conditions Roof Sealant for Homes Stationary
homes have both flat and sloping roofs and can thus be applied with the respective
improvement when a house is built, but you can do it yourself whenever
necessary. Roof sealant paints or other liquids are the most common roof sealant
available on the market because they are easy to apply, dry quickly, and can be
used in large quantities. Reapplications are the best option for better results, so
using a liquid could be very convenient. We have some roof sealants that can be
materials that can protect any surface from any physical condition. Concrete
sealants are an excellent choice for protecting homes with flat roofs. They protect the
roof from water leaks and excess rainwater seepage, among other things, and can
Concrete sealants, on the other hand, require a waterproof coating to keep the
materials present from dissolving due to leaks and water. Clear Roof Sealant Clear
varnishes are another great option for roof sealants in homes and help protect many
types of roofs. These can be used on both flat and slanted roofs. These are also
available in liquid form and are the most commonly used sealants due to their ease
of application. They are all waterproof and can protect tiles, metal, masonry, and
grout work, all of which are common in homes. Roof Sealant for Mobile Homes It is
critical to apply roof sealants to mobile homes and recreational vehicles to protect
them from weather stress (excess heat, wind and rain). The manufacturers of these
caravans, like the manufacturers of stationary homes, apply the sealant, but for
added protection, it is recommended that you apply one more coat yourself. Because
these roofs are made of metal and fiber, they are susceptible to water and heat
damage. As a result, roof sealants are available in rubber, paint, and other water-
resistant adhesives. Consider which of the roof sealants for RVs you would prefer.
Rubber Roof Sealant Rubber roof sealants are one of the most popular RV roof
simple. Because rubber is a material that can keep any type of damage away from
the roof, liquid rubber sealants are very useful for mobile homes. They are sold in
liquid form, which solidifies and effectively protects the roof. When it comes to mobile
homes, there are numerous causes of damage such as hot run, dust, direct contact
with water drops, harsh winds, and so on. As a result, paint-based sealants are
among the most affordable roof sealants. White paint is the best roof sealant for
these vans because it repels heat dust particles, preventing the roof from cracking.
Waterproof paints are preferred over standard automotive paints (Dow Chemical
Company,2018).

from dust, smoke, gas, air, water and other unwanted materials. There are many
types of sealants which are used to protect different kind of surfaces like dry walls
and roof from external damages. A sealant is also used to protect flat and sloping
roofs for many years. These sealants can take the form of rubber, tar, paint,
concrete, or any other durable covering material that can withstand external

to help with the common problem that every household faces. However, commercial
sealants these days are usually expensive. Furthermore, recent studies show that
some commercial sealants are potential hazards since they contain toxic chemicals
In line with the Team WFM (2017), it has been established that sealants are
“polymers having a tight molecular structure that does not allow water to penetrate a
seal”. The researcher of the study has empirical evidence that a mixture of jackfruit
properties usually required for a sealant to do its job. The hydrophobic property of
the components is the main factor for producing the sealant as the mixture is a
Conceptual Framework
