Synthesis

Alkyds (Oil Modified Polyesters)

Raw Materials (Alkyds are derived from polyols and organic acids, including dibasic organic acids or anhydrides, polyhydric alcohols and triglyceride oils)

End Use

Lithographic printing ink, architectural and industrial paints and coatings.

Polyesters (saturated or unsaturated)

Raw Materials (dibasic organic acids and polyhydric alcohols)
