What are alkyds?
Alkyds are polyester resins made of a combination of a certain type of fatty acid, known as dicarboxilic acid and polyol , a kind of alcohol. They are liquids and are primarily used as one of the basic ingredients in many colors, lifts and enamel. In these boards, it acts as a binder as a binder as a binder, holds further ingredients and gives them the ability to connect with many surfaces. In this industry they are often used to form molds. When used for mold production, alkyd resin is usually combined with a metal dryer and chemicals in the form of polymer isocyanate to increase the drying time. In this environment, alkyd binds sand -based molds together, drying without toxic rinsing. They tend to create excellent encapsulation material for capacitors and resistors. In addition, they can be used in the insulation of the circuit breaker and in the switch. This is due to the fact that they are very resistant to heat and easily do not lead electricity. In general, because productsAlkyd is not based on water, they are well connected with wood without lifting their grain. They also work well on latex colors to cover stains or color. In addition, they can be used on steel and other metals that corrode in the presence of oxygen and inhibit rust.
Another benefit of Alkyds as a color binder is that they can provide a stronger consistency. This results in a brush or cylinder to raise more colors. However, stronger consistency does not fulfill, but due to the characteristics of the binder spread evenly and smoothly.
There are applications in which the color of alkyd desirable is not. Several such cases are in the painting of galvanized steel, concrete and masonry. Each of these surfaces has certain chemicals that react with alkydy and saponify or form soap. This causes peeling and damage to the base material. Alkyd color also tends to increase naps on plasterboard and is not recommended onThe use of the plasterboard filling is first remedied with a latex color.
artists who often use oil colors in their work sometimes also decide to use alkyd colors. This is generally because these dry faster than traditional oils and all colors have similar drying times. The completed image using alkydy can be very faster than the oils. Another advantage for artists is that Alkyds and Oils can be combined on the same project without harmful effects.
