Abstract
The marine fish oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps) is a rich source
of oil, the estimated availability of oil at the current level of catch
being about 6000 tonnes per annum. The main Impediment for the
commercial utilization of sardine oil is its objectionable odour. The
possibility of preparing surface coating materials from the oil has
been investigated. It has been found that the stearine separated
oil on heat-bodying at 200'C. in the presence of cobalt oxide
catalyst (I per cent on the wt of oil) for 2 hr, resembles double-boiled
linseed oil in its drying characteristics; in addition the objectionable
odour gets removed. The paint formulations prepared using
this oil conform to the Indian Standards Specifications for ready
mixed paints.
