Tung oil CAS# 8001-20-5

In recent years, the in-depth development and research of tung oil products at home and abroad is very active, the main research directions in the electronics industry, advanced printing inks, heat-sensitive copy materials, integrated circuit sheets, marine paints and current accumulation coatings, electrical insulation coatings, chemical industry, surfactants, defoamers, fungicides, adhesives, synthetic resins, plastics industry, rubber industry. The main component of tung oil triglyceride tung oleate under the action of alkali and acid, hydrolyzed to unsaturated tung oleic acid containing three conjugated double bonds. The Chemicalbook conjugate double bond in the molecular structure is next to the hydrogen on the carbon atom, and under the action of O2 in the air, the hydrogen capture reaction occurs, and the resulting hydroperoxide decomposes to produce free radicals, triggering the polymerization reaction. According to the molecular structure characteristics of tung oil, the researchers explored the process by using the principles of addition, polycondensation and esterification. The use of tung oil to change polymers has been reported more, such as tung oil modified alkyd resin, polyurethane, epoxy resin and siloxane resin, etc., but also used to prepare epoxy resin curing agent or copolymerize with other monomers.
