<p dir="ltr">The effects of formulation factors on the pencil hardness and thermal degradation properties of a bio-based coating derived from Talisay (Terminalia catappa) seed oil extract were studied. The bio-based coating was prepared using thiol-ene coupling via photopolymerization. Pencil hardness measurements of the film coating were performed and results show that increasing Oil/MDI ratio decreases the hardness of the film coating. Furthermore, thermogravimetric measurements show that the film coating is thermally stable up to 300℃.</p>
