We are involved in manufacturing and supplying of good quality Alkyd Resins.
Alkyds are used in paints and in moulds for casting. They are the dominant resin or "binder"in most commercial "oil-based"coatings.Approximately 200,000 tons of alkyd resins are produced each year. The original alkyds were compounds of glycerol and phthalic acid.
Long oil alkyds are the standard resins for oil-based architectural paints and deck coatings. Characteristics of long oil alkyid resin to coatings: durability, flexibility, and gloss retention. They also offer application benefits: brushing ease, fast dry, and compatibility with a range of solvents and other coating resins.
Medium oil alkyds dry faster than long oil alkyds. The solvents are typically aliphatic or oxygenated. Characteristics of Medium oil alkyid have good durability and gloss retention. They are excellent for high gloss coatings and wood finishes.
Short oil alkyd resins are the fastest drying of the unmodified alkyds. The drying rate is efficient for OEM products and high volume manufacturing. They dry too fast for brush application enamels. They feature a good combination of hardness, flexibility, and abrasion and chemical resistance.
