Özet

Purpose
This study aims to propose a solution to decrease the environmental pollution caused by alkyd resins that harm the environment during their production and use.


Design/methodology/approach
A commercially produced polish formulation was used in the study. To reduce the use of this formulation in finishing polish, a water-saturated transparent solution of hydroxyethyl cellulose was used as a transparent filling material.


Findings
The use of hydroxyethyl cellulose at its optimum concentration in finishing polish only reduced the gloss by 0.027 per cent. The amount of alkyd was reduced by 24 per cent in weight.


Research limitations/implications
The literature contained highly limited information on this subject. No transparent filling material was found. Thus, no comparison can be made with other studies.


Practical implications
The results obtained from this study can help manufacturers in the polish industry to produce varnish in a more cost-effective and eco-friendly way.


Originality/value
Considerable amount of volatile organic compounds released into the atmosphere as a result of the use of solvent-based dye/varnishes in the woodworking industry alone proves the importance of water-based systems. The results of this study indicate both economic and environmental gain.
