Abstract

Summary

The optimization of esterification process of self-emulsifying method of rubber seed oil (RSO)
modified water borne alkyd resin was investigated. Response surface methodology (RSM)
analysis using design matrix of FFA linked with CCRD in coded notation for RSO modified
water borne alkyd resin synthesis was used to optimize important process parameters comprising
the reaction temperature, catalyst ratio, reaction time, oil ratio, viscosity, molecular weight of
the resin coupled with their interaction on the oil sample. The optimum conditions (reaction
temperature of 2600C ,reaction time of 180 mins, oil ratio of 0.43, catalyst ratio 0.1, stirring rate
of 500rpm) were determined by the results of statistical screening analysis under which the
experiment was performed. The results obtained revealed that the maximum responses of 89.66%
fractional conversion, viscosity of 293.197Cp,average molecular weight of RSO water borne
alkyd MW(av) of 5481 were determined based on economic consideration. Hence, the
experimental value of 0.89 was in accordance with the predicted modal value of 0.89.
