Alkyd Resin

Introduction

Alkyd resins are among the most widely used synthetic resins in the paint and coatings industry. Celebrated for their versatility, durability, and adaptability, alkyd resins play a crucial role in the formulation of high-performance paints, enamels, and protective coatings across a broad spectrum of industrial and decorative applications1.

What is Alkyd Resin?

Alkyd resin is a polyester resin modified with fatty acids or oils, produced through the polycondensation of polyols (such as glycerol), dibasic acids (like phthalic anhydride), and natural oils or fatty acids. This unique chemical structure endows alkyd resins with a balance of flexibility, adhesion, and weatherability. They are commonly categorized by oil length—short, medium, or long oil—determined by the percentage of oil present in the formulation. Each type offers specific benefits suited to different coating requirements1.

Types of Alkyd Resin

Oil Length Description Typical Uses
Short Oil ≤ 40% oil content, fast drying Baking enamels, metal coatings
Medium Oil 40–60% oil content, versatile General-purpose paints, industrial coatings
Long Oil > 60% oil content, flexible Decorative enamels, exterior & weatherproof paints
