The invention discloses a
cardanol-based
alkyd resin preparation method, which comprises the following steps of adding
cardanol into a reaction container, adding an
organic solvent for
dissolution, adding a
metal hydroxide aqueous solution into the reaction container, performing stirring and heating for refluxing, adding
fatty acid chloride into the reaction container, performing heating for refluxing, performing
vacuum evaporation to remove the
organic solvent, adjusting the pH to be 1.5 to 3, adding
ethyl acetate for demixing, washing an organic phase by using
distilled water,
drying the organic phase by using
anhydrous sodium sulfate, performing
filtration, washing a
filter cake by using
ethyl acetate, mixing the organic phase, and performing
evaporation to remove the
solvent to obtain pasty
solid; adding the pasty
solid and glycerin into a reaction container, heating dimethylbenzene for esterification, separating water by using a water separator, reducing the temperature, adding
phthalic anhydride in batches, performing heating for refluxing until the
viscosity and the
acid value meet requirements, adding dimethylbenzene for
dilution, and discharging to obtain
alkyd resin. According to the method, the
raw material cost is lowered; due to the special
benzene ring-containing structure of the
cardanol, the prepared
alkyd resin has high performance of
heat resistance,
hardness and the like.
