Abstract : Alkyd paints based on snail shell powder, and marble dust extenders were formulated at extender contents, 0 - 80 wt. %. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) formulated paint served as the reference paint. The formulated paints exhibited satisfactory drying, impact resistance, and adhesion properties with the paint sample containing 60 wt.% snail shell powder exhibiting the least dry film removal of 6.25%. The sample containing 60 wt.% marble dust exhibited the best pencil hardness of 5H. The thickness of the dry paint films (0.20 - 0.30 mm) indicated the paints potentials to function as anti - corrosive paints. The paint viscosities increased with extender content, and snail shell powder formulated paints exhibited higher viscosities than those of marble dust. The paint samples containing 20 - 40 wt.% extenders exhibited high gloss that is suitable for automobile, and other consumer goods applications. The dry paint films were generally unaffected in 3% NaCl, and 3% H2SO4.

Keywords : Snail Shell Powder, Alkyd Paint, Marble Dust, Extender, Impact Resistance.
