DUR-A-PLEX® Alkyd Resin
Alkyd resins are the reaction product of an oil or fatty acid, polyol(s) and polyacids. These polymers are supplied in solvents and can cure by reaction with oxygen or amino based crosslinking resins to form tough, durable films. The choice and amount of oil in the polymer determines the dry rate and solubility of the polymer in aliphatic solvents. Long (over 60 %) and medium (40-60%) oil alkyds are supplied in low odor aliphatic solvents and are suitable for architectural and maintenance finishes. Short (under 40%) oil alkyds are supplied in aromatic solvents and are used in fast air dry and bake finishes. Alkyds can also be modified or co-reacted with many other material types (rosin, phenolic, urethane, vinyl monomers etc.). The precise combination of the many possible ingredients, together with careful control of the reaction, influences the final properties of the alkyd produced. For this reason there are a large number of alkyds available for the coatings formulator.
