Introduction
Background of the study
Lazaro et. Al (2014) The apparent use of floor wax and its benefits to people
cannot be denied and are already proven. It is meant to increase hardness and glossiness
in flooring and create resistance against slips and scuff marks. Products obtained from
petroleum, particularly floor waxes and polishers are mostly used in the society,
especially in households.
Radaza and Amante et. al (2014) noted that floor wax is important for
housekeeping. It is used in coating to protect floors. Because waxes are insoluble in
water, they are particularly useful for water proofing. Some plastics have characteristics,
and maybe blended with waxes, add glass, durability, and increase toughness.
Besides, an article from Green Shield floors (2014) said “People in general want
their surroundings to be clean and tidy, to their roofs, walls, and floors.” In doing so,
people use multiple cleaning agents, many of which are used for a specific things and
reasons. But there are some major considerations on how to coat and protect their floor. It
is believed by some that the chemicals that have been found in cleaning agents have
unnatural formulas that can be released into the air and will not only bring certain
illnesses, but will also give rise to a different environmental impact.
Furthermore, Popvitch (ehow.com) even stated that “besides being expensive,
store-bought cleaners contain number of chemicals. These chemicals can be hazardous to
1

your health and are not necessary to have a clean home. Making your own household
cleaners saves money and ensures the ingredients are natural.
Food and Agriculture Organization (2017) stated that “Leucaena Leucocephala is
considered as ‘Miracle Tree’ because of its variety of uses. Its valued, either locally or in
global perspective.” It is used in livestock industry, as timber, as gum, and even used as
treatment to some disease or illness, Ipil-Ipil trees absorb excess water from rain and
cover the soil from heavy water protecting the soil from flowing away, the plant is also
much used as a cover crop, the bark is valued for its significant potential in producing
brown dye, seeds of Ipil-Ipil in some provinces are used as coffee substitute.
In addition, according to Stylecraze (2017), the leaves of Ipil-Ipil have a great
medicinal value. The chinese medicine uses properly cooked such leaves and used it as a
worm repellant, where worms can be found anywhere in our homes, worms are one of the
reasons why fragile floors are easily broken.
Also, Lazaro et. Al (2014) said Ipil-Ipil contains epicuticular waxes such as
paraffin and fats. It will be easier to produce more products out of Ipil-Ipil for it has the
ability to grow vigorously and numerously it grows fast and is not endangered at the
present time. It is also a good choice to make a floor wax out of Ipil-Ipil leaves because it
can kill bacteria that exists in your homes. It doesn’t only protect your floor from stains,
scratches but it also natural, safe and eco-friendly.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to produce floor wax from leaves of Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena
Leucocephala). Specifically, this study aims to answer the following questions:
1. What is the acceptability level of Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena Leucocephala) as a floor
wax?
 Effectiveness
 Odor
 Affordability
 Texture
 Color
 Safety
2. Will the shelf life of the Ipil-Ipil floor wax be a cause of concern?
3. Can we put floor wax on tile floors?
4. How long does it take till you can walk on the waxed floor?
Scope and Delimitations

The main focus of this study was to determine the production of floor wax out of
Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena Leucocephala) leaves in order to lessen the use of harmful chemicals
3
that may affect health problems of people who will use the product. The study was
conducted at Barangay Poblacion, Mangaldan, Pangasinan.

Significance of the study
The researchers aim to provide a floor wax made of Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena
Leucocephala) leaves because it has been growing fast and not endangered at the present
time. Besides it can also help people who can’t afford to buy or doesn’t have enough
income to buy tile floor for their house. Moreover, Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena Leucocephala) is
also a good choice to make a floor wax out of leaves because it is natural and eco-
friendly that can be much safer to humans.
The researchers believe that this study is deemed significant to the following:
1.) Parents. Through this study, they will be guarantee that it will not cause harmful
effects to their members of the family.
2.) Community. The study will increase the awareness of the whole community
regarding the possibility and effectivity of using Ipil-Ipil leaves as a source of
floor wax.
3.) Agricultural Industries. Through this study, farmers and others who are
involved and concerned with agriculture will value the worth of Ipil-Ipil and will
continue to culture and plant these trees.

4.) Commercial Industries. It has been with optimism that this investigation was
undertaken to help the sectors that produce products, most especially those
involve in floor wax manufacturing to resort to an alternative source of floor wax
production.

Review of Related Literature
This part of the chapter presents a review of what Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena leucocephala) is, its
composition and its worldwide use.
Local
Pascual, F. P. (2014) Leucaena leucocephala, more commonly known in the
Philippines as Ipil-Ipil, is a leguminous plant whose pod and leaves are used as diet
components in animal feeds. Protein content of the leaves and seeds are relatively high
depending on the variety. Besides the protein content, the leaves contain beta-carotene,
which imparts a yellow color to egg yolks. (Wikipedia) Along in the Philippines, Ipil-Ipil
is the named used for the tree, it is also called komkompitis in Ilocano, and loyloi in
Bisaya. Its scientific name is Leucaena leucocephala.
Moreover, Kenneth Laruan (2014) stated that, Ipil-Ipil can adapt to tropical
conditions such as in the Philippines and can tolerate extreme temperatures which make it
suitable to highlands and lowlands. That’s why it’s a good practice to produce more
products from Ipil-Ipil locally.
6
Tel No. (075) 522-5358
In addition, BioNET-EAFRINET reported that Leucaena leucocephala grows
very fast in suitable sites; pollarding and coppicing to form dense, homogenous thickets
that are difficult to control once established. Invaded areas become unusable and
inaccessible with most other vegetation replaced. L. leucocephala constitutes a threat to
native
Biodiversity. Once L. leucocephala establishes itself it displaces native
vegetation and can promote suitable conditions for the establishment of even more
aggressive invaders.
According to the Agriculture, Livestock & Fisheries (2015) An Ipil-Ipil tree has chemical
compositions of Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorus, and Sulfur. Therefore, it can be
concluded that the Ipil-Ipil tree leaf has beneficial effects and could be combined with
alternative floor wax for maintaining clean and glossy floors.
However, Paulsen (1999) as cited by Larsson, et.al (2009) stated that, “Two of more
common floor care methods currently in use are wax treatment and polishing. Both
methods entail the floor being given a basic treatment on installation, during which a
protective layer of wax or polish is applied. This is followed by frequent care up until the
floor needs to be restored to its original condition through what is referred to as periodic
maintenance.

7
Tel No. (075) 522-5358
In connection to floor care methods, (2011) the researchers have known one unusual but
common practice inside the classrooms of one town in Eastern Samar, Philippines. This
practice involves the use of Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena Leucocephala) leaves in waxing and
polishing a concrete cemented smooth pavement. The continued application and rubbing
of Ipil-Ipil leaves against the concrete smooth pavement results into a shiny colored-
green floor. Being a natural, safe, and eco-friendly method, this practice has been
continuously used and observed in most schools of town.
Moreover, the article from philhealth.gov.ph (2017) their studies stated that the janitors
from Dipolog City, Philippines, use Philippine medicinal trees such as Ipil-Ipil for
waxing their floor to maintain their sanitary condition. They choose Ipil-Ipil because of
its unique properties. Also, they use this for it preserves their bamboo floor tiles.
Foreign
H.M. Shelton and J.L. Brewbaker (2014) Leucaena Leucocephala derives from
'leu' meaning white, and 'cephala' meaning head, referring to the flowers. Ipil-Ipil grows
gregariously and in abundance mostly found in the settled areas at low and medium
altitudes. It was originated from Mexico and Central America and is introduced to the
Philippines by the Spanish through the galleon trade.
P. Nagendra Prasad (2013) In India, it is popularly known as kubabul or subabu. During
the 1970s and 1980s it was promoted as a "miracle tree" due to its multiple uses. It has

8
Tel No. (075) 522-5358
also been described as a "conflict tree" because it has been promoted for its forage
production and naturally spreads like a weed.
Lyons and Miller (1999) stated that Leucaena leucocephala is invasive in parts of
Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. It is especially abundant in the humid coastal lowlands and
in other humid areas. L. leucocephala is common in many provinces of Kenya; Western,
Rift Valley, Coast and Central. In Tanzania L. leucocephala was introduced on
experimental basis in Morogoro where it proved a success as an agroforestry tree.
According to Mohamed Z. Zayed, Sobhy M. A. Sallam, Nader D. Shettain “Review
article on Leucaena Leucocephala as one of the miracle timber trees” (2017). Leucaena
leucocephala tree has multipurpose uses, such as generation of firewood, timber, greens,
fodder, and green manure, as well as to provide shade and control soil erosion. It has been
used for medicinal purposes because of possessing multiple pharmacological properties.
Studies have shown the presence of various secondary metabolites such as alkaloid,
cardiac glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and glycosides in this species. In
traditional medicine, it is used to control stomach ache and as contraception and
abortifacient.
M. G. Singh (2016) According to the study “Leucaena leucocephala: A
Multipurpose Tree”, Leucaena leucocephala is a long lived perennial legume tree. It is
non-climbing, erect, thorn less shrub or small tree; grow in arid and semi-arid areas. It is
a multipurpose tree, young leaves and seed used as a vegetable. It is used as soil fertility

Improvement. Various parts of L. leucocephala have been reported to have
medicinal properties. In present paper detailed taxonomic description, photographs,
botanical description and its uses are discussed.
Duke (1983) It is guaranteed that the use of Ipil-Ipil as floor wax is safe for Ipil-Ipil can
also be used as source of food for animals. It contains legume that is promoted in several
countries of Southeast Asia (at least Burma, Cambodia, Laos,and Thailand) This legume
provides an excellent source of high-protein cattle fodder.
In addition, AW (1998) stated that “Leucaena is relatively resistant to the pests and
diseases prevalent in Hawaii, but extensive plantation culture may invite the breakdown
of this apparent resistance. Twig borers, seed weevils and termites, as well as damping off
may hinder the plant. Consequently, Leucaena Leucocephala as floor wax can kill
pesticides or any bacteria that might stay and occur on your floor. Therefore, using it will
protect the floor from those unwanted bacteria.
On the other hand, The New Encyclopedia (2010) states that, “waxes is any classes of
pliable substance of animal, plants, minerals, or synthetic origin that differs from fats in
being less greasy, harder and more brittle and in containing principally compounds of
high molecular weight. Waxes melt at moderate temperature and from hard films that can
be polished to high gloss, making them ideal for use in a wide array of polishes.”

SpecialChem S. A. (2010) describes floor polishes as applications to resilient flooring
such as vinyl tile or wood to maintain a clean and sanitary appearance in high traffic
public area. The polish is cleaned and buffed, often daily, to restore the shine, and then
periodically stripped and re-applied. Longer maintenance intervals are often preferred, to
minimize labor cost, but if only the polish has sufficient durability.

Chapter IV
This chapter treats statistically the hypothesis stated in the chapter 1 of the study. Data
collected are analyzed and findings are based on this analysis.
Ipil-Ipil Floor Wax Acceptability Measure Data
The main purpose of giving the Ipil-Ipil floor wax acceptability measure was to
determine the effectiveness of Ipil-Ipil floor wax when applied in a concrete cemented
smooth pavement and wooden floor.
There were two hypotheses drawn from the Ipil-Ipil floor wax acceptability
measure data.
The Null hypothesis stated that Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena Leucocephala) leaves cannot
yield a more acceptable Ipil-Ipil floor wax.
The Alternative hypothesis stated that Ipil-Ipil can be great source of alternative
ingredient for floor wax.
A mean rating of 3.0 was set as the level of acceptability of the floor wax
effectiveness for the measure used as tool in the study. The ratings ranges from as high as
5 (Very Satisfied) and as low as 1 (Very Dissatisfied)
22
Tel No. (075) 522-5358
Below is the rating scale used by the 20 respondents of this study in rating the
made floor wax acceptability or effectiveness in a concrete cemented smooth pavement
and wooden floor.
5 : Very satisfied
4 : More than satisfied
3 : Satisfied
Criteria for Acceptability Mean

Effectiveness 3.0
Odor 3.2
Affordability 3.05
Texture 3.3
Color 3.1
Safety 3.5
(Overall mean) – 3.1917
2 : Partly Satisfied
1 : Not at all satisfied

Tel No. (075) 522-5358
As shown in table, the mean ratings of the Twenty (20) respondents to the following
criteria for effectiveness of Ipil-Ipil floor wax from Ipil-Ipil leaves; for Effectiveness 3.0,
for Odor 3.2, for Affordability 3.05, for texture 3.3, for color 3.1, for safety 3.5.
3.00 = standard level of floor wax acceptability
23
The results show that a weighted mean obtained by the Ipil-Ipil floor wax from
the leaves for each of the five criteria for effectiveness or acceptability reaches the
standard mean of 3.00 set as the level of Ipil-Ipil floor wax effectiveness/acceptability,
resulting to an overall mean of which reaches and exceeded the standard level.
Evidence by this outcome, that the Ipil-Ipil leaves produce an acceptable Ipil-Ipil
floor wax
Therefore, the Null hypothesis is rejected; statedthat Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena
Leucocephala) leaves cannot yield a more acceptable Ipil-Ipil floor wax.
This finding leads one to believe that Ipil-Ipil can be great source of alternative
ingredient for floor wax suited to be applied on a concrete cemented smooth pavement
and wooden floor.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Conclusions
Based on the findings, the researchers came up with the following conclusions:
24
1. The researchers learned that the Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena leucocephala) is effective to the
floor because it contains protein, carbohydrates and fats.
2. The researchers learned that the Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena leucocephala) leaves as an
alternative ingredient for floor wax in terms of its odor, reaction to the wood floor and the
ability to preserve it is highly acceptable.
Recommendations
1. Improve the scent of Ipil-Ipil floor wax to have better fragrant.
2. Further studies should be conducted to make the Ipil-Ipil floor wax more effective in
making floors shiny
3. We recommend the use of Ipil-Ipil floor wax, instead of commercial floor wax
