Alkyd paint, also known as alkyd resin paint or alkyd resin paint, is mainly composed of alkyd resin and is currently the largest type of paint produced in China. So what are the characteristics and types of alkyd paint? We together look!

advantage:

The price is cheap, the construction is simple and the requirements for the construction environment are low, the coating film is full and hard, the decoration and protection are good, and the durability and weather resistance are excellent.

shortcoming:

The drying is slow, the coating film cannot meet the higher requirements, and it is not suitable for high decorative places.

Scope of application:

Mainly used for general wood, furniture and home decoration coating, general metal decorative coating, metal anti-corrosion coating with low requirements, general agricultural machinery vehicles, instruments, industrial equipment, etc.

Classification:

Solvent based alkyd paint

The traditional alkyd resin coating is solvent-based and contains a large amount of solvent (more than 40% by mass), the main components: alkyd resin, No. 200 solvent gasoline, drier (containing cobalt, manganese, lead, zinc, calcium, or cobalt, manganese, and rare earth), Anti-skinning agent. Paints also contain pigments and the like. This kind of alkyd paint will pollute the environment and endanger the health of workers during the production and construction process. In recent years, the environmental protection regulations of various countries in the world have become increasingly strict, the supervision of traditional solvent-based coatings has become more and more strict, and the trend of water-based and high-solid coatings has become increasingly clear.

water soluble alkyd paint

Water-soluble coatings are the introduction of hydrophilic or water-solubilized groups into film-forming polymers, making them a kind of coatings that can use water as a dissolving medium. Pollution, energy-saving, resource-saving coatings. Because of its good gloss, weather resistance, good construction, it can be brushed, sprayed, baked, strong adhesion, can withstand strong and obvious changes in climate, etc. The research and application of water-soluble coatings has been It has attracted extensive attention and made important progress. Water-soluble alkyd paint is a new development trend, and has received a lot of research and development.
