Abstract:

Owing to the pollution implications of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs or organic solvents) present in coating resins, the current focus of the surface coating industries is towards the use of low VOC binders. Since alkyds are the workhorse of the paint industries, they were chosen for the study. Present study is aimed at optimising the ingredients of alkyd resin emulsions so as to have low VOC, shelf stable and performance oriented coatings. Various experimental sets were designed by changing the oil length, surfactants amount, and organic phase to water phase ratios. The resulting emulsions were studied for their stabilities. Also the films were coated on test panels and their performance was compared with their solvent based counter parts.
The films were evaluated for adhesion, flexibility, impact resistance, scratch hardness, chemical resistance as well as drying performance at ambient temperature. The study revealed certain excellent features of alkyd emulsion [low VOC] as surface coating binders.
