Abstract

The effect of the conditions of formation and aging on the life of alkyd coatings is studied. It is shown that the life of alkyd coatings aged under various conditions can be expressed by the general equation τ=Ae−ax The relationship between the life of alkyd coatings and curing temperature is linear. It is observed that the conditions of aging have no effect on the rupture energy or τ0, but cause a substantial change in the distribution of the lines τ=f(1/Tf). Cross-linkage of alkyd coatings due to the action of heat, light, and moisture, under various conditions of aging, is accompanied by an increase in rupture energy with increase in the internal stresses.
