Abstract: CUETO, PAMELA GLENDA S.; ESPINELI, LOVELY REANOLYN C; MAGAHIS, ANA MARIA CONSUELO C., Applied Research 111 (General Science Curriculum), Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2004, "MANUFACTURE OF BATHROOM TILES FROM POWDERED OYSTER SHELLS AND EGGSHELLS." Adviser: Engr. Renato B. Cubilla This study entitled 'Manufacture of Bathroom Tiles from Powdered Oyster Shells and Eggshells" was undertaken to produce bathroom tiles from oyster shells and eggshells. It also aims to: (a) determine how oyster shells and eggshells could be manufactured into tiles; (b) determine the characteristics of the tiles produced from oyster shells and eggshells; (c) determine the best proportion of oyster shells and eggshells in making tiles; and (d) determine the cost of production tiles from oyster shells and eggshells. The study was conducted at Cavite State University, College of Engineering and at Mr. and Mrs. Espineli's residence in Alfonso, Cavite from August 2003 to January 2004. The proportions used in the study were Treatment 0. Commercial Tiles (bought); Treatment 1. 50% egg white, 25% eggshells and 25% oyster shells; Treatment 2. 50% egg white, 30% eggshells and 20% oyster shells; and Treatment 3. 50% egg white, 20% eggshells and 30% oyster shells. Highly significant results were obtained from the sensory evaluation of texture, color and general acceptability of the tiles produced. However, non-significant results were obtained from volume, mass, and density of initially dried and oven-dried tiles. The highest breaking strength was observed in Treatment O or commercial tiles (6.20) followed by Treatment I composed of 50% egg white, 25% eggshells and 25% oyster shells (0.45). Meanwhile, the lowest breaking strength (0.25) was observed in Treatment 2 (50% egg white, 30% eggshells and 20% oyster shells). It was proven that the commercial tiles are still the most advisable material for bathroom tiles, although Treatment I (50% egg white (binder), 25% eggshells and 25% oyster shells) can also be utilized. In terms of economic feasibility, Treatment 2 composed of 50% egg white, 30% eggshells and 20% oyster shells with a cost of P7.79.
