EFFECT OF SOLVENTS ON ARICRYL POLYMERIZATION AND APPLICATION IN WOOD COATINGS

Abstract

Aricryl polymerization is made in three stages according to the addition polymerization scheme, namely initiation, termination and propagation. The processed aricryl polymerization was batch G-0903, G-0915A and G-0915B. The difference in each batch is the use of solvents for dilution. Dilution for resin batch G-0905 was carried out in >63% n-butanol and toluene. Dilution for resin carried out in >63% toluene. Based on data on the application of wood coatings, the best results were in batch G-0905 with a hardness value of 97, a glass value of 97 and a drying time of 0.05. The resin obtained has a total solid specification of 59.66%, a viscosity of Z2-Z3, an acid number of 0.45 mg KOH/g, a colorless than I and the resulting resin is clear and clean.
