In this study, organo clay-modified alkyd resins were synthesized and these modified alkyd resins were cured with different ratios of melamine formaldehyde resin for the first time. Alkyd resins were blended with 30% and 40% of a commercial melamine-formaldehyde resin. Alkyd-melamine formaldehyde resin films were cured at 140 degrees C for 2h in an oven. The effect of organo clay addition on the physical and chemical film properties was investigated. These surface coating properties of the resins enhanced with amount of organo clay up to 23%. These resins are suitable for manufacturing of high-performance industrial baking enamels.
