PRODUCTION OF POLYMERS FROM WASTE COOKING OIL

摘要

The present invention provides a method for forming alkyd resin that includes reacting waste cooking oil, one or more aromatic or aliphatic polycarboxylic acids, and one or more polyols to form the alkyd resin. The present invention also provides an alkyd resin for use in coating formulations that is the reaction product of a waste cooking oil, a polyol, and an aliphatic or aromatic polycarboxylic acid. The present invention further provides a composition, in the form of a coating composition, that is a reaction product of reactants that include waste cooking oil and either water, an organic solvent, or mixtures thereof.
