Agar-Agar (Gelidium Corneum) as an Additive to an Emulsifying Agent in Photographic Silkscreen Printing

Abstract

This experimental study aimed to determine Agar-agar's acceptability (gelidium corneum) as an additive to an emulsifying agent in photographic silkscreen regarding adaptability, durability, and legibility. It also sought to ascertain its level of acceptability and determine if significant differences exist in the acceptability using the different treatment as rated by the learners, teachers, and practitioners and when the respondents grouped as a whole. The Iloilo Province participants' data purposively selected: students-74, teachers-15, and industry practitioners-18 interpreted and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The result revealed that all participants positively accepted the four treatments but not differed in their evaluation. The overall ratings obtained had a verbal interpretation of "highly acceptable," which means that the four treatments are acceptable. The researcher recommended agar-agar as an additive to an emulsifying agent in photographic silkscreen printing in the academe and the Iloilo Province industry.
