Abstract

The contributions of castor seed oil (CSO) as a useful, nontoxic, and sustainable base material for coating systems cannot be overemphasized. This paper took advantage of the predominant fatty acid composition in CSO (i.e., ricinoleic acid). It blended a synthesized crosslinker, poly(epichlorohydrin‐triol) (PECH‐triol), in percentages within its polymeric matrix. Physicochemical and spectroscopic (FTIR, 1H‐NMR, and 13C‐NMR) examinations were carried out on the polyols. Thermal stability, hydrophobicity, anticorrosion, mechanical, and antibacterial properties of the prepared polyurethane (PU) coatings were examined. The 20% PECH‐triol–CSO‐PU film having its TON and TEND at 230.5 and 511.0°C, respectively, showed improved thermal stability when compared with the pristine film (CSO‐PU). The derivative of TGA reveals a three‐stage degradation step. Hydrophobicity was seen to increase from 73.3° to 92.2°, a reflection of the crosslinking effect of PECH‐triol within the urethane matrix. The improved adhesion of 20% PECH‐triol–CSO‐PU coating on mild steel gave a better chemical resistance.
