If the oil lenght is short, alkyd resins have the properties of polyester chain. The type of oil and the lenght of oil in alkyd resins are very important for the decision of usage area. Classification of Alkyd Resins The need for a a variety types of paint and varnish increased by following the development of technology due to this reason the production of different types resins refer to binders started for manufacturing the varied types of paint and varnish kinds. Long Oil Alkyd Resins Length of oil (oil percentage) is more than 55 in alkyd resins formulations.Long oil alkyds have a high percentage of driying oil content. Medium Oil Alkyd Resins The percantage of oil in alkyd resins is between 45-55.Medium oil alkyds have less driying oil and have a higher percentage of large molecular weight polymer backbone. Short Oil Alkyd Resins The percentage of oil in alkyd resin is less than 45.The percentage of drying oil is very low in relation to the base alkyd polymer chain.
