Pengaruh Suhu dan Waktu Perendaman terhadap Pengurangan Kadar Formaladehid dalam Wadah Peralatan Makan Melamin Menggunakan Spektrofotometer UV-Vis (The effect of Teperatus and Soaking Duration on the Conten of Formaldehyde in the Melamine Dining Wares by Detecting with Sepcetrophotometry UV-Vis)

---

Melamine is a polymer of formaldehyde with phenol compound. The polimer is used to release formaldehyde in dining wares made of melamine. The released formaldehyde is the formalin that contains 40% of wich as formaldehyde. This compound has the potential to be toxic, could cause cancer, kidney stone, that may end to death. A study to reduce formaldehyde content in melamine is the method of soaking the dining wares in hot water.
To detect the concentration of formaldehyde Nash reagent was used followed by spectrophotometry UV- Vis. The results showed the followings, the melamine of bowl. The content offormaldehyde was 21,0197 ppm at 80 'C and the melamine in powder from content 23,8665 ppm, both are the highest concentration. It seems that the releasing formaldehyde content in melamine is less than in of the powder of the wares.
