N2  - Rubber seed is reported to contain about 42;oil, which is semi-drying type oil. Rubber seed oil used in the present study was prepared by extracting the seed with petroleum ether. Two types of modified alkyds were prepared from the refined rubber seed oil and these were used for the production of white gloss paint. The viscosity values of the paints were comparable but the drying characteristics were different. The level of unsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic and linoleic acids is found to be the deciding factor, which helps drying
