Modification of Alkyd and Alkyd-Melamine Binders with Imide-Containing Oligomers

Abstract

This paper considers the possibility of modifying alkyd and alkyd-melamine binders with synthesized reactive imide-containing oligomeric modifiers. Using scanning electron microscopy, it is found that the addition of oligomeric imide-containing modifiers increases the protective effect of the anticorrosion coating made of modified resin almost threefold. It is shown that coatings formed from modified binders retain high levels of adhesion and impact strength and have increased hardness compared to coatings based on a binder without a modifier.
