Description :
A novel short oil alkyd has been synthesized based on linseed oil, phthalic and maleic anhydride and rosin. In this work, efforts were made to replace the conventional active matter linear alkyl benzene sulphonate (LABS) by polymeric surfactant (Alkyd resin) in detergent composition and so they can be labeled as ecofriendly polymers. An ecofriendly alkyd resin polymer based on linseed oil and rosin was synthesized and used with sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) instead of LABS for detergent formulation. The proposed composition can be easily prepared in existing alkyd resin manufacturing plant. Various analytical parameters like surface tension, foaming properties and detergency on solid cloths were studied and were found to be at par or sometimes better than commercial samples..
Keywords: Alkyd resin, polymeric surfactant, powder detergent.
