ALKYD RESINS
[CODE NO.4191]
Alkyd resins have been defined as the reaction product of polyhydric alcohols and polybasic acids. This definition includes polyester resins of which alkyds are a particular type. The specific definition that has gained wide acceptance is that alkyds are polyesters modified with mono-basic fatty acids. In recent years, the term nonoil or oil-free alkyd has come into wide use to describe polyesters formed by the reaction of polybasic acids with excess polyhydric alcohols. These products are best described as hydroxylated polyesters and they are finding increasing use in the coatings industry.
Classification:- There are many ways of expressing the composition of an alkyd and those in general use are often misleading in that they do not specific the alkyd. The most common compositions expressed are (a) alkyd ratio or polyhydric alcohol/phthallate ratio (b) oil length or percent oil (c) percent phthallic. If the three common components, glycerol, fatty acids and phthallic/anhydride, react in equimolar proportions to a low acid number, the individual molecules are undoubtedly mixed esters and consequently, there is very little free glycerol phthalate or free fatty acid triglyceride.
The alkyds, as finished solutions, are ready for cold blending with other resins or polymer solutions for use in clear finishes, or for use as vehicles in which to grind pigments prior to blending with other resin or polymer solutions for use in clear finishes; or for grinding with pigments to form finished alkyd paints. More than 90% of the alkyds produced are handled in one of these ways to produce some type of paint, varnish, or lacquer for industrial or home consumption. About half of the alkyds made are sold by their producers to others who carry out the final operations of manufacture of paint or other coating material.
Because of wide variety of commercial alkyds, they are further classified by the coatings industry. The following widely used classification is related chiefly to the kind of monobasic fatty acid in the alkyd.
1. Drying:- The monobasic fatty acid has an unsaturated structure present in sufficient quantity to cause a thin film (1-3 mils) of the alkyd to polymerize in the presence of oxygen at room temperature to give coherent, solid film.
2. Non-Drying:- The amount of unsaturated structure in the monobasic fatty acid is so low that little or no polymerization occurs with oxygen.
The drying alkyds are often used alone in coating vehicles, non-drying alkyds are blended with other polymeric materials to give finished products, obviously these classifications are somewhat arbitrary and various degrees of drying can-exist.
