Alkyds also

Today the user industries demand absolute colour stability which has been obtained by developing the so-called oil-free alkyds, also called polyesters... 

Modifications of the above epoxy types are used as well. For example, phthalic anhydride is sometimes used to partially replace fatty acids in producing epoxy resin alkyds. Also short oil length epoxy esters (sometimes based on a non-drying oil), are occasionally modified with an amino resin to yield a coating binder capable of forming a very hard, chemically resistant film. There are also epoxy systems based on modifications of the epoxy resins with acrylic resins or polyisocyanate ciuing agents. 

Selected alkyd resins are compatible with cellulose nitrate, amino resins, phenolic resins, epoxy resins, silicones, acrylics, chlorinated rubber, and styrene. When added to cellulose nitrate, short-oil alkyds improve gloss, adhesion, and flexibility of these commercial coatings. The chemical resistance of short-oil alkyds is improved when they are reacted with amino resins. Alkyds also react with phenolics to produce chroman-type alkali-resistant coatings.

Methyl-2-pentanoi b.p. 132 C, a solvent for nitrocellulose, urea-formaldehyde and alkyd resins. It is also used in ore flotation. 

The polycondensation of di-isocyanates with polyhydric alcohols gives a wide range of polyurethanes which are used as artificial rubbers and light-weight foams, and have other important properties. Isocyanates are also used as modifiers in alkyd resins. ... 

Most naphthalene produced is utilized in the manufacture of phthalic anhydride, for plasticizers, alkyd resins and polyesters. It is also used in the manufacture of 2-naphlhol and insecticides. Naphthalene derivatives are of importance, particularly as dyestufT intermediates. 

HOaQCHjlfiCOiH, CSH14O4. Important dicarboxylic acid obtained by oxidizing ricino-leic acid (from castor oil) also obtained by oxidation of cyclo-octene or cyclo-octadiene formerly obtained from cork. Used in the formation of alkyd resins and polyamides. Esters are used as plasticizers and heavy duty lubricants and oils. 

Almost all of the OX that is recovered is used to produce phthaUc anhydride. PhthaUc anhydride is a basic building block for plasticizers used in flexible PVC resins, for polyester resins used in glass-reinforced plastics, and for alkyd resins used for surface coatings. OX is also used to manufacture phthalonitrile, which is converted to copper phthalocyanine, a pigment. 

Polyols. Several important polyhydric alcohols or polyols are made from formaldehyde. The principal ones include pentaerythritol, made from acetaldehyde and formaldehyde trimethylolpropane, made from -butyraldehyde and formaldehyde and neopentyl glycol, made from isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde. These polyols find use in the alkyd resin (qv) and synthetic lubricants markets. Pentaerythritol [115-77-5] is also used to produce rosin/tall oil esters and explosives (pentaerythritol tetranitrate). Trimethylolpropane [77-99-6] is also used in urethane coatings, polyurethane foams, and multiftmctional monomers. Neopentyl glycol [126-30-7] finds use in plastics produced from unsaturated polyester resins and in coatings based on saturated polyesters. 

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. 

Maleic acid and fumaric acid can also be, and are often, incorporated in alkyd resins in the form of the Diels-Alder adduct of rosin. The adducts are tribasic acids which provide pendent carboxyl groups in the resin molecules, which can be saponified to give ionic, and, in turn, water-soluble characteristics to the resin. However, the resultant alkyds often have poorer color retention, toughness, gloss retention, and exterior durabiUty. 

Mliphatic dibasic acids such as succinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, and sebacic acids have also been used to make alkyd resins. Their linear chain stmcture lends higher flexibiUty and lower viscosity to the resin as compared to the rigid aromatic rings of phthaUc acids. 

Chlorendic anhydride is the common name of the Diels-Alder adduct of maleic anhydride and hexachlorocyclopentadiene, 3,4,5,6,7,7-hexachloroendomethylene-l,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthahc anhydride (HET). The resultant resins from HET contribute to the flame retardancy of the alkyd coatings. HET gives a greater reaction rate than phthaUc anhydride, to the extent that at 204—210°C the reaction rate approximates that of phthaUc anhydride at a temperature of 238°C (8). However, the resins tend to develop darker color, particularly at high processing temperature. Tetrachlorophthahc anhydride [117-08-8] made by conventional chlorination of phthaUc anhydride, would also impart flame retardancy to its alkyds. However, it is appreciably less soluble in the usual processing solvents than is phthaUc anhydride, and is reported to be of appreciably lower chemical reactivity (8).
