    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Alkyd resin was prepared using the seed oil of water melon (Citrullus Lanatus). The extraction of the seed oil of CitrullusLanatus was done by solvent extraction method using n-hexane as the solvent. The physicochemical properties of the oil were determined using standard analytical procedures, the result of the physicochemical properties of the oil is as follows; colour (yellow), specific gravity (0.9), saponification value (181mg KOH g-1). Iodine value (68.63g of iodine/10g of oil), Refractive index at 400C (1.45), Acid value (0.81mg KOH/g) and free fatty acid (12.1mg KOH/g). The result of t ... Continue Reading

         

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]There are many significant efforts that have been made to increase alkyd resin production. Many researchers have attempted to search the different sources for alkyd resin preparation. (Ikhuoria, 2004) studied enhancing the quality of alkyd resins using methyl esters of rubber seed oil in 2004.A lot of alkyd resins were imported to Myanmar paint industries every year. In order to save foreign currency out flow, it is needed to produce alkyd resin in Myanmar. The oils that are mostly employed for alkyd resin synthesis are linseed oil, soya bean oil, dehydrated castor oil, fish oi ... Continue Reading
