Alkyd resins binders

The mechanism of the action of zinc phosphate is shown in Figure 69. Zinc phosphate dihydrate pigment is hydrated to the tetrahydrate in an alkyd resin binder [5.84], The tetrahydrate is then hydrolyzed to form zinc hydroxide and secondary phosphate ions which form a protective film of basic iron(III) phosphate on the iron surface [5.80]. The anticorrosive action of zinc phosphate depends on its particle size distribution. Micronization improves the anticorrosive properties [5.85]-[5.87], The effect of corrosion-promoting ions on the anticorrosive properties of zinc phosphate is described in [5.88], [5.89],... 

The relative age of the ink on the document can be assessed by monitoring the reduction in concentration of individual solvent components however, these solvents evaporate rapidly from the document entry, and so the method has limited application. In alkyd resin binder inks, it may be possible to determine the age of the ink entry by monitoring changes in the fatty acid composition due to curing, as discussed previously. 

A quick drying of alkyd paints is of enormous commercial importance. Common solvent borne alkyd paints contain small amounts of cobalt based driers (e.g. cobalt ethylhexanoate) besides the main constituents of alkyd resins (binders), pigments and solvents. The cobalt salts increase the oxidative cross-linking rate of the unsaturated fatty acids which are present as constituents of alkyd resins. 

A time to reach blister temperature for paint removal was used to determine the relative speed of paint removal. In each case, the paint consisted of an alkyd resin binder on painted metal and wood surfaces. A calibrated thermocouple attached to a unit with a digital temperature scale was placed directly on the surface, and the temperature was recorded when the paint blistered Table 11.12 lists the results. This test showed that a metal substrate requires more cleaning time (+5-72 sec) and a higher temperature (+77-82 °F (+22-28 °C)) than less thermally conductive substrate, such as wood. 

The manufacture of alkyd resins (qv), which are obtained by the reactions of polybasic acids or anhydrides, polyhydric alcohols, and fatty oils and acids, consumes about 17% of the phthahc anhydride demand. While materials such as maleic anhydride, isophthahc acid, and fumaric acid can also be used, phthahc anhydride is the most important. The resin provides a binder for coatings that are apphed for either protection or decoration. Ak quahty concerns have put alkyd resins under pressure from water-based coatings which do not emit organic vapors upon drying.

In addition to natural materials, synthetic polymers might also be present in works of art. Since the end of the nineteenth century, synthetic polymers have been produced and used in the field of cultural heritage, to restore works of art [3], but also as paint binders, such as alkyd resins and acrylic water dispersions. Most synthetic polymers can be detected by GC/MS only through thermal degradation followed by GC/MS [4,5] (Chapter 12 deals with the characterisation of synthetic resins in detail). 

Other examples of alkyd resins with variations in binder compositions across the different colours have been found in samples from a painting by Jackson Pollock analysed with Py-GC/MS and on-line TMAH derivatization [91]. 

In the characterization of alkyd resin formulations the palmitic acid to stearic acid (P/S) ratio, often used to identify the type of oil in a binder, cannot be applied as many different oils other than the traditional ones are commonly employed in industrial formulations. Moreover, they are often in mixtures, with the additional complication that fatty acids are also sometime added to the vegetable oils, thus making it impossible to rely on measured P/S values. In any case it is important to always derivatize the samples if Py-GC/MS is used and an alkyd is suspected. Phthalic anhydride will be detected also in an underivatized alkyd pyrogram however, isophthalic acid will not, leading to confusion and the possibility of uncorrected identification [92]. 

Microgels have also been detected as a component of alkyd resins, an early but still important binder of organic coatings [316-321] and are accountable for their ability to fill pores, fissures and other irregularities of the substrate such as wood. This property may be explained by the size of the microgels which prevents the paint becoming soaked up by the substrate. 

A highly concentrated dispersion of carbon black is first prepared with a portion of the binder and solvent. The viscosity of this concentrate is a function of the particle size, structure, and surface chemistry of the black, the type of binder and its interaction with the pigment black, and the proportions of black, binder, and solvent. The final paint is made from the concentrate by adding more binder and solvent, its carbon black concentration is 3-8% referred to the solids content. Wetting agents are sometimes added to improve dispersibility and prevent flocculation. A number of concentrates for paint manufacture e.g., carbon black-nitrocellulose chips or carbon black -alkyd resin pastes, can be obtained from paint producers. 

In 1942, various materials, such as resinous chlorinated paraffin, chlorinated rubber, chlorinated alkyd resins, and vinyl and vinylidene resins were unavailable for use in fire-retardant paints. Such chlorinated binders as were available were in critical demand for flameproofing fabrics. The present availability of such materials...

Until the early 1970s, all ED binders used industrially were based on maleinised natural oils, acidic alkyd resins or epoxy resin esters. Later, binders based on maleinised polybutadiene oils (LMPBs= low-molecular-weight polybutadienes) also came into industrial use, particularly in Western Europe. All these systems were of the anionic type, i.e. their water solubility and their deposition at the anode were due to the presence of carboxylate groups in the binder molecules. More recently, cathodic ED, with binders carrying cationic groups (e.g. -N 2h)j has proved to be an interesting alternative. This paper describes development work directed towards improving the corrosion resistance of anionic, and more briefly, cationic ED binders.

The composition of ink will depend very much on the printing technique used. Adsorbing inks (e.g. used in most newsprint printing) contain typically mineral oil, unsaturated fatty acids and alkyd resins, whilst radiation curing inks (UV or IR) would be typically epoxy acrylates, urethane acrylates or similar prepolymers that can be polymerised further on irradiation. Finally xerographic inks contain yet other binders, e.g. styrene butadiene rubber or vinyl acrylates... 

Coatings are usually classified according to the resin binder. Thus, names such as acryhc, alkyd, epoxy, or chlorinated rubber are commonly used to identify coatings with those classes of binders. Other classes of coatings, as the fluoropolymers [10,11] have also become of common application e.g. in cod-coated steel. 

Binders are macromolecular products with a molecular mass between 500 and ca. 30000. The higher molecular mass products include cellulose nitrate and polyacrylate and vinyl chloride copolymers, which are suitable for physical film formation. The low molecular mass products include alkyd resins, phenolic resins, polyisocyanates, and epoxy resins. To produce acceptable films, these binders must be chemically hardened after application to the substrate to produce high molecular mass cross-linked macromolecules. 

In drying by polyaddition, low molecular mass reactive polymers such as alkyd resins, saturated polyesters, or polyacrylates react with polyisocyanates or epoxy resins to form cross-linked macromolecules. Because this reaction can take place at room temperature, the binder components must be mixed shortly before application. The period of time during which a coating of this type remains usable after mixing of the components is known as the pot life. These are known as two-pack coatings, differing from the one-pack systems, which can be stored for months or even years. 

Composition. Chlorinated rubber combination paints contain a second resin as the property-determining binder. The chlorinated rubber is added to an alkyd resin, acrylic resin, or bituminous substances to improve properties such as drying rate, water resistance, or chemical resistance. This application only accounts for a small proportion of the total chlorinated rubber consumption. 

The proportion of chlorinated rubber in the binder varies from 10 to 50wt% depending on the intended application plasticizers and/or alkyd resins and/or acrylic resins account for the remainder.
