Abstract

Hydroxyl-terminated polyesters are the most common polyols that are crosslinked through an isocyanate group. In this study, the polyester polyol resins were synthesized by using 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (1,4-CHDM) with the mixture of different diacids as 1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylicacid (1,3-CHDA), 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylicacid (1,4-CHDA), isophthalic acid (IPA), adipic acid (AA), and azelaic acid (AZA). The solubility and viscosity of these polyester polyol resins were determined by using suitable solvent. All the polyester polyols were crosslinked with HDI isocyanurate and IPDI trimer to form polyurethane coating films. These films were evaluated for their mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties. The studies on film characteristics reveal that the cycloaliphatic diacids afforded polyurethane with greater performance properties than that of aromatic and linear aliphatic diacids.
