...Desmond Teck Chye Ang; Seng Neon Gan Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop palm oil‐based alkyds as ultraviolet (UV) curable coatings and investigate the parameters that affect the coating performances. Design/methodology/approach Alkyds were formulated from palm stearin, glycerol...

...V.D. Athawale; A.V. Chamankar Reports a comprehensive study of the effects of blend ratios (aliphatic alkyd and cyclohexanone formaldehyde resins) on coating properties. Solvent and drier systems used for preparation of blends are also included in the present work. The properties studied were...

...Seng‐Neon Gan; Kim‐Teck Teo Reports the effects of composition and curing temperature on the film properties of three water reducible enamels prepared from palm stearin alkyds. The properties studied were hardness, flexibility, and adhesion. While all the formulations exhibit excellent adhesion...
