Abstract
Rubber seed oil alkyd resins of 50% oil length were prepared (sample I) and parts of it modified by direct chlorination for 30 min (sample II), 60 min (sample III) and 90 min (sample IV). The concentration of the chloride ions was found to be 0.231, 0.236 and 0.239 mol/dm3 for samples II, III and IV, respectively. The IR spectra of the samples show that chlorine enters only into the aliphatic portion of the alkyd chain by addition. The physico-chemical properties and performance characteristics of the chlorinated and unchlorinated alkyd resins were determined. The results show that the chlorinated resins are fire retardant and that they possess superior drying properties, than the unchlorinated alkyds.
