PHENOLIC
RESIN and/or ROSIN MODIFIED ALKYD RESINS
Rosin modification is used
to make alkyds set faster and harder. It gives higher gloss and adhesion.
Durability is sacrificed to some extent, depending on the amount of rosin
added. Rosin modification makes alkyds suitable for fast-dry enamels
and primers.
Phenol modification increases
alkyds' resistance to water, alkali, grease, oil and abrasion. Phenol-modified
resins are used extensively in both industrial and architectural finishes,
either alone or as reinforcing agents for other alkyds resins.
