But alkyd-based paint takes longer to dry and cleanup involves the use of solvents.

For alkyd-based paints, use brushes and roller covers of nylon or natural fiber.

For a smoother surface and for applying alkyd-based paint, use a short-nap roller cover with quarter-inch fibers.

They are usually used in industrial and automotive applications since they are more heat resistant than latex-based and alkyd-based paints.

The brand name Dulux has been used by both ICI and DuPont since 1931 and was one of the first alkyd-based paints.

Top-quality, natural-bristle brushes give marginally better performance with alkyd-based paint, but because they absorb water and then become floppy, never use them with latex paint.

The adoption of the new measures was very slow, however: as of late May the Navy's paint factories had yet to receive the ingredients needed for the new alkyd-based paints and only in late April had they received even the lampblack required for conversion paste 5-BP.

Care should be taken when using it to thin oil- or alkyd-based paints, otherwise the paint could be overthinned.

Oil- and alkyd-based paints use as binders vegetable oil like linseed oil, or alkyd resins, which are synthetic.
