Abstract
N,N-bis (2-hyroxyethyl) fatty amide (HAFA) derived from dehydrated cas tor oil (DCO) has been employed as a curing agent for a carboxylic aci d functional acrylic resin (AAR). Coating compositions with a varying AAR/HAFA ratio have been prepared and their various film properties ha ve been studied and compared with the conventional butylated melamine formaldehyde (MF) based systems. The study reveals that HAFA can be us ed successfully as a crosslinking agent for AAR in baking systems. In addition to other technical advantages, the use of HAFA is environment ally friendly as no toxic volatiles are evolved during curing reaction , unlike in MF-cured systems.
