Waste thermocols and waste acrylic contribute towards environmental pollution due to their non-biodegradability,
and improper disposal leads to respiratory and digestive problems in the human beings. This study proposes a
thermo-chemical reutilization technique for these materials for the synthesis of paint-solvent. Paint solvents were
experimentally synthesized using waste thermocol and spent acrylic via thermo-chemical processing. These solvents were
further utilized to form paint with iron oxide and other pigments as pigment and raw thermocol as a binder.
FTIR spectroscopy was performed to identify the organic functional groups in the liquid fraction obtained after thermochemical
treatment. The liquid fraction obtained after the thermo-chemical treatment was uniformly mixed with a binder and
pigment, and the resulting synthesized paint, whose characteristics were compared with those of conventional polystyrene
paint. The use of waste thermocol and spent acrylic in the synthesis of paint not only reduces the amount of waste but
also has the potential to replace resins and solvents in conventional paints derived from refined crude oil by products.
This study provides a promising solution to this waste management problem and highlights the potential use of waste
materials in paint synthesis.
