  • Components and Types of Varnishes
    Components and types of Varnishes Varnish is traditionally a combination of a drying oil, a resin, and a thinner or solvent. However, different types of varnish have different components. After being applied, the film-forming substances in varnishes either harden directly, as soon as the solvent has fully evaporated, or harden after evaporation of the solvent through curing processes, primarily chemical reaction between oils and oxygen from the air (autoxidation) and chemical reactions between components of the varnish. Resin varnishes "dry" by evaporation of the solvent and harden almost immediately upon drying. Acrylic and waterborne varnishes "dry" upon evaporation of the water but will experience an extended curing period. Oil, polyurethane, and epoxy varnishes remain liquid even after evaporation of the solvent but quickly begin to cure, undergoing successive stages from liquid or syrupy, to tacky or sticky, to dry gummy, to "dry to the touch", to hard. Environmental factors such as heat and humidity play a very large role in the drying and curing times of varnishes. In classic varnish the cure rate depends on the type of oil used and, to some extent, on the ratio of oil to resin. The drying and curing time of all varnishes may be sped up by exposure to an energy source such as sunlight, ultraviolet light, or heat. Drying oil There are many different types of drying oils, including linseed oil, tung oil, and walnut oil. These contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Drying oils cure through an exothermic reaction between the polyunsaturated portion of the oil and oxygen from the air.

  • Safflower Oil Fatty Acid Content
    Decarboxylation and hydrogenation of safflower and rapeseed oils and soaps to produce diesel fuels by Dwight Randall Hiebert A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemical Engineering Montana State University © Copyright by Dwight Randall Hiebert (1985) Abstract: The purpose of this research was to study the decarboxylation and hydrogenation of safflower and rapeseed vegetable oils and their derivatives and evaluate their products' potential use as diesel fuels. Decarboxylation reactions were carried out on the raw oils and their calcium salts (soaps) in a 500 ml batch reactor. These experiments were run at high temperatures (700-800°F) and at atmospheric pressure, both with and without catalysts. Hydrogenation was done in a 500 ml rocking bomb at 1500 PSI and 300°F using a Raney nickel catalyst. Thickening tests were performed at 150°C in the presence of oxygen and a copper catalyst to determine if small amounts of the fuel substitute would polymerize in crankcase lubricating oil. Feed materials and products were analyzed to determine the following physical characteristics: iodine value, kinematic viscosity, density, water content, distillation ranges, acid number, and elemental analysis. The most promising safflower oil decarboxylation catalyst was a Harshaw nickel-molybdenum variety which gave liquid product yields of 74%. Even greater yields (over 90%) were obtained using this catalyst to decarboxylate crude rapeseed oil. Decarboxylation of the calcium soap of safflower oil produced its highest yield (55%) without the aid of a catalyst. Thermal decarboxylation of the rapeseed calcium soap without a catalyst produced yields of over 60%.

  • Eleostearic Acid
    coatings Article Bio-Based Composites with Enhanced Matrix-Reinforcement Interactions from the Polymerization of α-Eleostearic Acid Amanda Murawski and Rafael L. Quirino * Chemistry Department, Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, GA 30458, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 June 2019; Accepted: 9 July 2019; Published: 17 July 2019 Abstract: Vegetable oil-based composites have been proposed as interesting bio-based materials in the recent past. The carbon–carbon double bonds in unsaturated vegetable oils are ideal reactive sites for free radical polymerization. Without the presence of a reinforcement, typical vegetable oil-based polymers cannot achieve competitive thermo-mechanical properties. Compatibilizers have been utilized to enhance the adhesion between resin and reinforcement. This work discusses the antagonist implications of polarity and crosslink density of an unprecedented polar α-eleostearic acid-based resin reinforced with α-cellulose, eliminating the need of a compatibilizer. It is shown that the polar regions of α-eleostearic acid can interact directly with the polar reinforcement. The successful isolation of α-eleostearic acid from tung oil was verified via GC-MS, 1H NMR, Raman, and FT-IR spectroscopies. The optimal cure schedule for the resin was determined by DSC and DEA. The composites’ thermo-mechanical properties were assessed by TGA, DSC, and DMA. Keywords: bio-based materials; fatty acids; thermosets; tung oil; cellulose composites 1. Introduction In the past decade, vegetable oils have received a lot of attention as an attractive bio-renewable starting material for the preparation of bio-based polymers. Polymers prepared from vegetable oils have the advantage of being versatile due to their easily tunable properties, which can be simply adjusted with changes in the resin composition.

They find utility in several coating applications, including architectural, industrial and wood coatings. Formulation involves the use of reactive diluents to decrease the viscosity and trigger the autoxidative curing mechanism of the alkyds to avoid the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This work studies the modification of alkyds and reactive diluents and the differences between the coating performance of these additives. Two differently functionalized alkyds and reactive diluents were synthesized and formulated into high solids alkyds coatings. Alkoxysilane and fluorine functionalities were chosen to improve adhesion, hardness, and chemical and corrosion resistance of the coating system. The resulting coatings were analyzed for performance, tensile properties, corrosion resistance and weatherability. ESEM-EDX was used to observe the distribution of the fluorine and alkoxysilane in the cross-section of the coating.

Quirino) ABSTRACT The goal of environmentally sound research is to provide alternatives that are more sustainable and renewable, such as vegetable oil-based polymers, than the current petroleum-based products. Vegetable oil-based polymers have received a lot of attention recently due their multifaceted properties, which are simply achieved by adjusting the monomer or resin composition. The carbon-carbon double bonds in unsaturated oils are ideal reactive sites for the free radical or cationic polymerizations. Most vegetable oils must be modified before polymerization due to the low reactivity of their non-conjugated fatty acid chains. Tung oil (TO) contains ~83% of a triply conjugated fatty acid (α-eleostearic acid), making it an attractive starting material.
