The legacy of Leo Hendrik Baekeland and his development of phenol formal- hyde resins are recognized as the cornerstone of the Plastics Industry in the early twentieth century, and phenolic resins continue to ?ourish after a century of robust growth. On July 13, 1907, Baekeland ?led his “heat and pressure” patent related to the processing of phenol formaldehyde resins and identi?ed their unique utility in a plethora of applications. The year 2010 marks the Centennial Year of the prod- tion of phenolic resins by Leo Baekeland. In 1910, Baekeland formed Bakelite GmbH and launched the manufacture of phenolic resins in Erkner in May 1910. In October 1910, General Bakelite began producing resins in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Lastly, Baekeland collaborated with Dr. Takamine to manufacture phenolic resins in Japan in 1911. These events were instrumental in establishing the Plastics Industry and in tracing the identity to the brilliance of Dr. Leo Baekeland. Phenolic resins remain as a versatile resin system featuring either a stable, thermoplastic novolak composition that cures with a latent source of formaldehyde (hexa) or a heat reactive and perishable resole composition that cures thermally or under acidic or special basic conditions. Phenolic resins are a very large volume resin system with a worldwide volume in excess of 5 million tons/year, and its growth is related to the gross national product (GNP) growth rate globally.

Alkyd resins are any of a large group of thermoplastic resins that are essentially polyesters made by heating polyhydric alcohol with polybasic acids or their anhydride and used chiefly in making protective coatings and 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. Alkyd resins are the synthetic resins which have a dominant position among the synthetic resins with respect of production volume & the frequency of the use in paint & varnish materials. Despite the growing popularity of acrylic, polyurethane and epoxy resins, alkyd resins remain highly favoured among paint producers for its variability of compositions & better value for money. Originally, alkyd resins were merely the reaction products of phthalic anhydride and glycerine. But these products were too brittle to make satisfactory coatings. The use of oils or unsaturated fatty acids in combination with the brittle alkyds resulted in the air-drying coatings which revolutionized the chemical coating industry. The oil or fatty acid portion of the alkyd is one of the factors which determine the paint formulator's choice of resin to be used. In general, the lower the phthalic content of an alkyd, the higher the amount of oil used. Alkyd resins products are suitable for wide range of products with application in decorative, maintenance and contractor paints where excellent gloss and good durability are required. Experts believe that the total consumption of paint & varnish materials will rise to a great extent in the coming years. Both cost wise & performance wise, alkyds have proven themselves over a wide swath of demands, from agriculture/construction equipment to general industrial metal and even architectural finishes. Some of the fundamentals of the book are the basic chemistry of unsaturated polyesters, factors affecting alkyd production, monitoring the alkyd reactions, alkyd calculations, alkyd formulations based on theory, practical alkyd formulations, assessment of the performance of single and multicoat red iron oxide alkyd paint systems, styrenated alkyd resins based on maleopimaric acid, mechanical properties of alkyds resin varnish films and the effect of different weathering conditions on them, modification of alkyds, copolymerization of alkyd silicons for coatings, styrene copolymers in alkyd resins, etc. This book contains alkyd formulation, modification of alkyds, styrene copolymers in alkyd resins, copolymerization of alkyd silicon, polyblends of polystyrene glycol and alkyd in surface coatings, alkyd calculations, and alkyd nomograms. This book will find very helpful to all its readers, entrepreneurs, scientists, technical institution, existing industries, paint technologist etc. TAGS Alkyd coating formulations, Alkyd Formulations by Resins, Alkyd resin, Alkyd resin Based Profitable Projects, Alkyd resin Based Small Scale Industries Projects, Alkyd resin chemistry, Alkyd resin Making Small Business Manufacturing, Alkyd resin manufacturing plant, Alkyd resin manufacturing process, Alkyd Resin Plants, Alkyd resin Processing Projects, Alkyd resin production Business, Alkyd Resin Production Plant, Alkyd resin production process, Alkyd resin properties, Alkyd resin reaction, Alkyd resin synthesis, Alkyd Resins Chemical Technology, Alkyd Resins Formulations, Alkyd Resins Manufacture, Alkyd Resins Manufacturing, Alkyd Resins Formulation, Alkyd Resins Processing, Alkyd Resins Processing Industry in India, Alkyd Resins Production, Types, Technology, Applications, Alkyd Resins Technology Book, Alkyd silicons for coatings, Alkyd Synthesis, Processing & Manufacturing, Alkyd-Resins Production, Best small and cottage scale industries, Business consultancy, Business consultant, Business Plan for a Startup Business, Business start-up, Calculating technique for formulating alkyd resins, Formulation of alkyd resins used in paints, Great Opportunity for Startup, How to start a successful Alkyd resin production business, How to Start Alkyd resin Production Business, How to Start Alkyd resin production?, How to Start Alkyd Resins Processing Industry in India, Industrial Project Report, Industrial Resins, Manufacture of Alkyd Resins, Manufacture of resin, Mechanical properties of alkyds resin varnish films, Modern small and cottage scale industries, Most Profitable Alkyd resin production Business Ideas, New small scale ideas in Alkyd resin production industry, Polymerization of Alkyd Resins, Preparation of Project Profiles, Process for making oil modified alkyd resins, Process for producing alkyd resins, Process Technology Book on Alkyd resin, Process technology books, Processes and equipment for alkyd and unsaturated polyester resin, Profitable small and cottage scale industries, Profitable Small Scale Alkyd resin Manufacturing, Project consultancy, Project consultant, Project for startups, Project identification and selection, Project profile on alkyd resin, Properties of Alkyd Resins, Resin production, Resins manufacturing plants, Setting up and opening your Alkyd resin Business, Setting up of Alkyd resin production Unit, Small scale Alkyd resin production line, Small Scale Alkyd resin production Projects, Small scale Commercial Alkyd resin making, Small Start-up Business Project, Start up India, Stand up India, Starting a Alkyd resin production Business, Startup, Start-up Business Plan for Alkyd resin production, Startup ideas, Startup Project, Startup Project for Alkyd resin manufacturing, Startup project plan, Technological advances in the manufacture of resins, Types of alkyd resin, Uses of alkyd resin
