ABSTRACT
Esterification reaction is a reaction between fatty acids or carboxylic acids with alcohols to
esters. Fatty acid (oleic acid) sourced from palm oil. One alternative to increase the economic
value of palm oil is oleic acid esterification into oleic butyl known as plasticizers. Plasticizer
additives are compounds added to polymers to improve its flexibility and workabilitas. This
study aims to study the effect of reaction time and molar ratio of the plasticizer synthesis oleic
butyl and identify the plasticizer oleic butyl. In this study, the first step is preparation H-Zeolite
catalyst, then synthesis of plasticizer butyl oleic esterification using natural zeolite catalysts
were activated to H-zeolites with variables in the reaction time (6, 9 and 12 hours) and the
molar ratio of oleic acid and butanol (1: 6, 1: 9 and 1:12) with the permanent variable stirring
speed of 200 rpm, 108-112 ° C of temperature and the catalyst were 15% oleic acid-based. From
the test results obtained 0.862 specific gravity, viscosity of 8.39 mPa and showed that the
specific gravity and viscosity of the resulting plasticizer has commercial plasticizer standard
namely 0.862 to 0.928 and from 8.2 to 9.4. Optimal operating conditions obtained in this
research is the molar ratio of 1:12, reaction time 12 hours resulted in a conversion reaction of
76.73%.
