In the modern world, more often when repairing andbuilding to the aid of alkyd paints, received their name from the same resin. The latter, in turn, act as a basic connecting element. After the end of the cooking process, a base is obtained, consisting of vegetable oils and acids. The resistance to stretching is particularly affected by the base component, which can have a different fat content. If the alkyd paint suddenly withered, then dilute it with kerosene or a solvent. The speed of its drying on the surface can be increased due to special additives.
Absolutely any alkyd paint is suitable forcorrosion protection for internal and external work. It can be applied to both metal and wood surfaces. It can be used in rooms with high humidity and for processing heated objects. For example, the paint on an alkyd base is well proven in the treatment of radiators. After some time after painting, the objects acquire a glossy surface. To small disadvantages can be attributed flammability and poor resistance to alkali. However, the positive qualities of this material are in fact much more.
Used alkyd paint is quite simple. It is only necessary to remove dust from the surface to be painted and close all large slots with putty. If you want to apply it to window frames or doors, then it is desirable to remove the hardware. You can paint with a roller or a normal brush. After thorough application, as a rule, re-treatment is not required. In the course of the work, certain precautions must be followed, which are expressed in simple rules. First, you need to make sure that the paint does not get into your eyes. Secondly, you should remove all furniture and other household items from the room, then you will be able to avoid unforeseen material expenses. If the paint gets on the skin, it can be rinsed off with a solvent.
Any alkyd paint should includeprimary driers, which play the role of oxidation catalysts. In most cases, cobalt, manganese, cerium, iron, zirconium, lead, lithium and some other chemical elements are added. The first of these is the most popular primary desiccant, showing a good result in the formation of coatings at a sufficiently low dosage. Ceramic coatings are not bad for finishing coatings, which, unlike the same iron, does not cause color changes. Lead for a long period of time occupied lead, but because of its toxicity, it was used much less often.
When an alkyd paint is produced, exceptThe main desiccants in it are quite often added auxiliary elements like calcium, zinc and barium. All of them in themselves do not provide a desiccating action, but in combination with primary elements are able to improve the final product. For example, barium takes on the function of a wetting agent, allowing you to improve the gloss. Together with cobalt, it can ensure rapid drying of the entire layer.
