Short Oil Fast Drying 16/50
Short Oil Fast Drying (16/50) is a specialized alkyd resin formulation designed for rapid drying and high-performance coating applications. Classified as a “short oil” alkyd due to its low oil content (~16%), this resin exhibits excellent hardness, gloss, and chemical resistance when cured. The 50% solid content makes it highly workable in solvent systems, and its compatibility with various driers enhances its versatility in formulation.
This resin is typically used in industrial and architectural coatings where quick turnaround and high durability are critical. The fast-drying nature makes it ideal for spray applications, metal primers, wood coatings, and enamels. Delivered in a 200 Kg industrial-grade drum, it is tailored for bulk manufacturing and large-scale use.
