Description :
A novel short oil alkyd has been synthesized based on linseed oil, phthalic and
maleic anhydride and rosin.. The parameters for mole ratio, reaction temperature, type
of catalyst and the time of heating has been studied. 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. The present compositions were on par or sometimes
better than conventional commercial formulations when compared on analytical
parameters like surface tension, foaming properties and detergency on solid cloths.
