Abstract
AbstractLow to moderate molecular weight terpene–anhydride resins were synthesized and evaluated in coatings applications. The terpenes used were terepinolene, β‐pinene, and alloocimene. The comononmers used were maleic or itaconic anhydride. The terpene–anhydride resins were used to formulate solvent‐borne coatings with an epoxy or diol as a coreactant. The coatings were evaluated as films over aluminum or steel panels. When a diol was used as a coreactant, the film properties were relatively poor. When epoxy was used as a coreactant, the properties of the films were much improved in terms of resistance to solvent and hardness. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
