Effect of karawila (MC43) seed oil on the film properties of alkyd resins prepaired from Soya oil

Abstract

Blending of fatty oils is commonly practiced in surface coating industry to obtain good performance levels of alkyd resins. Haseebuddin et al. [7] showed that better performance could be achieved when soya bean oil is blended with dehydrated castor oil. The presence of higher amount of unsaturation in karawila seed oil is expected to give better performance in long oil alkyd resins.
