Polyurethane resin derived from polyol of palm olein and recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste from soft drink bottles was incorporated into palm olein alkyd to produce new polyol for use in polyurethane resins as surface protection on metal surfaces. Design/methodology/approach: Alkyd was prepared from palm olein, glycerol and phthalic anhydride. PET...
