A high solids hydroxy acrylic resin for coatings was synthesized by using tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB)and dibenzoyl peroxide(BPO)as initiators and mercaptoethanol(AMSD)as molecular weight regulator. The effects of different temperature and initiator systems on the viscosity and mechanical properties of the resin were studied.The experimental results showed that the content of TBPB was 50 parts,and AMSD content was 10 parts,the synthetic hydroxy acrylic resin had the lowest viscosity,and the best mechanical properties.The paint was prepared with synthetic hydroxyl acrylic resin,which pencil...
