Studies on blends of polystyrene glycol and alkyds in surface coatings

Abstract

Polystyrene glycol was prepared and incorporated into nigerseed oil and castor oil alkyds representing semi‐drying and non‐drying type alkyds respectively. Compatibility of polystyrene glycol with these alkyds was investigated. It was found that 11 to 12 per cent polystyrene glycol could successfully be blended with these alkyds. In order to determine usefulness of these polyblends, film properties were examined and compared with those of plain alkyds. It was observed that polystyrene glycol modified alkyd blends were superior in film properties as compared to plain alkyds.
