Alkyd resin chemistry presents a way to make products with very different properties and so alkyds have become the binders of choice in many different coating applications. Alkyd emulsions afford the possibility of preparing solvent- and amine-free binders. Hofland [1-3] has published ways to formulate paints that are based on alkyd emulsions. Most fatty acid types used in alkyd emulsions are bio-sourced. However, the pressure on the environment can vary with the specific source of the fatty acid component. Soybean oil fatty acid (SOFA), for example, is produced from soybean oil, which competes with ...
