Abstract
For conservation of petochemical solvents and reduction of air pollution, the water soluble polymers will play an important role in surface coating industry. The coatings based on water soluble polymers are thinned with water instead of petroleum solvent. Basically, the water based coatings may be made from oils, alkyds, polyesters, aminoes, phenolics, epoxies and acrylics. In spite of a large number of other synthetic resins being available for use in coating formulations, the alkyd resins surpass all of them in versatility, and low cost combining a broad spectrum of performance properties with economy. Water soluble alkyd resins are similar to their solvent borne counterparts. The major difference is that their formulation is modified to introduce pendant carboxylic acid groups along the polymer backbone. These pendant acid groups can be neutralised with basic compounds to produce water solubility. Several workers studied preparation and evaluation of film characteristics of water soluble alkyd resins using various types of polybasic acids, polyhydric alcohols and fatty acids. The curing of these resins has been satisfactorily accomplished by stoving in presence of water soluble amino resins.
