ALKYD RESIN
1. INTRODUCTION
Alkyd resins are any of a large group of thermoset resins that are essentially
Polyesters made by heating polyhydric alcohol with polybasic acids or their
anhydride and used chiefly in making protective coatings with good weathering
properties.
These resins are useful as film forming agents in paint, varnished and enamels &
as thermosetting plastics that can be moulded into solid objects. Hence, alkyd
resins are one of the important ingredients in the synthetic paint industry.
The paint factories in India currently produce a variety of paint which can broadly be
categorized as synthetic enamel. This type of paint is used for the exclusive use in
internal / exterior walls and ceilings of architecture. This type consists of alkyd
based products which are used as metallic & wood paints, varnishes & lacquers,
antirust, etc.
2. MARKET POTENTIAL:
Alkyd resin, which is used in the production of a wide variety of paints, is supplied to
the Indian market both from domestic production and import. As Indian industries
are producing paint of amount approximately Rs.15000 crores which needs Alkyd
Resin of amount near about Rs. 3000 crores.
1. The unit will run on three shifts basis of 8 hours per shift for 300 days per year.
2. The unit will run at 80% capacity utilization.
3. The cost of land & building, plant & machinery, raw materials & finished goods
are as per prevailing market rate.
4. The name and addresses of plant & machinery of raw material suppliers are
neither exclusive nor exhaustive.
4. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE :
Every project requires some specific time for commercial production and are briefly
as under:-
5. TECHNICAL ASPECTS
Two processes are used for the production of alkyd resins, namely the solvent
and the fusion process. The solvent process uses a small amount of solvent, 5-
10%, in the esterification reaction to act as a reflux medium. The advantages of
this process are:
Uniformity of product
Increased speed of reaction and
Lower material losses.
Light colour
In the solvent process, the production of alkyds can be carried out either in a
single stage or a two stage process. Under the single stage process, the drying
oil (linseed oil), polyalcohol and phthalic anhydride are converted simultaneously.
This method of alkyd preparation is not satisfactory because of the
incompatibility of the phthalic anhydride with drying oil (linseed oil) and the
difficulty of controlling the reaction to produce the desired end-products.
In the first stage of the two stage solvent process, monoglyceride is produced
from drying oil and polyalcohol and in the second stage the monoglyceride is
esterified with phthalic anhydride to convert it into alkyd resin. This process is
more satisfactory and is the one recommended for the envisaged plant because
it eliminates the problems of the first option.
In the two- stage solvent process, the first operation is the alcholoysis reaction
which takes place under different duration of time (varying form 40 minutes to 4
hours) and temperature (from about 240 to 260oC). The completion of this stage
is shown by the solubility of the product in about twice its weight of methanol
