The aim of this study is to investigate the potential use of palm oil and to prepare new UV (ultraviolet) radiation-curable acrylated polyester prepolymers, which could be used in the wood coating industry. Thus, palm oil-based acrylated polyester resins PEPP-1 (from refined, bleached, and deodorized palm oil) and PEPP-2 (from crude palm oil) were synthesized at the Advanced Oleochemical Technology Centre (AOTC) laboratory of Palm Oil Research Institute of Malaysia (PORIM). The performances of these resins with respect to their curing rate and physical-mechanical properties of cured products under UV radiation were studied. It can be concluded that newly synthesized UV radiation-curable polyester acrylated prepolymers (palm oil based), namely PEPP-1 and PEPP-2, can be used as radiation curable coating materials for wood coating applications.
