Is paint soluble in kerosine?
Depends on the kind of paint: oil based paint will dissolve in, or at least mix with kerosine, water based will not (e.g. alkyds)
What are common uses of alkali earth metal?
There are many uses. Most of them are industrial uses.
What are medical uses of volvox?
uses of volvox
Non-living thing that uses energy?
A light bulb uses energy. It uses electricity.
What is the difference between transcript and DNA replication?
They use different nucleotide bases:DNA replication uses thymine.Transcription uses uracil.
What is the difference between acrylic alkyd and modified alkyd?
Alkyds can be modified (blended with ) acrylic resins/emulsions or other polymers such as phenolic resins or urethanes, so all acrylic alkyds are modified alkyds, but not all modified alkyds are acrylic alkyds. Both are pretty general terms, but modified alkyd is much more vague and proprietary. The term "Acrylic Alkyd" is usually reserved for alkyds which have been chemically modified with acrylic monomers such as methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid, styrene, vinyl toluene, etc. These acrylic monomers are incorporated into the alkyd molecule by addition polymerization. Such alkyds are generally characterized by faster solvent release, quicker tack-free time, better hardness, blocking resistance, color and color retention, and durability, depending on the choice of monomers and amount of acrylic content. These alkyds are also more expensive than conventional alkyds due to higher cost of monomers and the additional manufacturing steps required.
Can you use alkyd waterborne rust coat over alkyd rust coat?
Yes. Waterborne alkyds are compatible with oil-based alkyds as long as the surface is clean and deglossed.
Why does white spirit take off paint?
White spirit takes off some enamels and alkyds.
What is the difference between alkyd latex and waterborne alkyd?
Traditionally, alkyds are found in solvent-based paints that must be reduced with paint thinner or mineral spirits. "Waterborne alkyd" is a generic term to refer to an alkyd resin that can be used in a water-thinnable paint. Because alkyds are not miscible with water, a chemical modification is sometimes used to produce a hybrid alkyd resin - often acrylic/alkyd or urethane/alkyd - that is compatible with water. These hybrids are often categorized generically under the term waterborne alkyds. A pure alkyd can be emulsified in water using appropriate surfactant combinations. This type of surfactant-stabilized alkyd emulsion has been sometimes referred to as an "alkyd latex." Different resin manufacturers use varying terminology to describe waterborne alkyds with the terms alkyd emulsion, alkyd dispersion, and alkyd latex being among the most common.
Is paint soluble in kerosine?

The most common solvent used today for thinning alkyd paint is?
The solvents used to thin alkyd paint can vary as much as the painters do. However, most references point towards using regular paint thinners such as lacquer thinner. However, usually more than 10% is needed. ChaCha on!
What are polymers in the printing industry?
There are a few and they are similar to those used in paints and coatings. they include, nitrocellulose, PVA, acrylics, styrene - acrylics, epoxy and alkyds. Also increasingly used are UV and electron beam cured.
What is the solvent for paint?
Gloss paints are available in all types of bases. The most common gloss paints used in homes are either oil based or water based alkyds or water based acrylic or vinyls latexes.
Can you put latex paint over an alkyd stain on the exterior of a house?
no. Latex paint is flexible and remains so after curing. Alkyds dry to a solid, non-flexible surface, causing it to usually crack when put over a latex
What are the types of epoxy?
All epoxys are not created equal. There are many different types of polymer resins in manufacturing different epoxys such as; Polymides, Polyimines, Polyurethanes, Polyesters, Aminoplasts, Acrylics, Alkyds, Vinyl Esters, Vinyl acetates, Melamine are some common types of epoxy.
How alkyd resins are formulated?
An alkyd is polyester made by reacting a polyol with a dibasic acid. An oil-modified alkyd isan oil-modified polyester made from oil and polyol and a dibasic acid. OILsThe oils are triglyceride oils. Three fatty acid groups react with glycerine to form a triglyceride. There are 18 carbon atoms in the fatty acid molecule. The oils can be drying oils or non‑drying oils. Some drying oils are Tung, dehydrated castor oil, linseed, safflower, soybean oil and fish oil. Some non‑drying oils are palm, coconut and cottonseed oil.OilsDrying Non‑ dryingTung CoconutDehydrated castor oil PalmLinseed Cotton seedSafflowerSunflowerSoyaFishPolyolsThe following polyols can be used to make alkyds Glycerine, pentaerythritol,trimethylol Propane and trimethylol ethane.Dibasic acidsThe most commonly used acid is phthalic anhydride. Isophthalic acid can also be used. Other dibasic acids are adipic acid, maleic anhydride and fumaric acid.Mole Ratio of Phthalic to GlycerineThe mole ratio of phthalic to glycerine is (3) to (2.4)ThisRatio is use when making 50% oil length alkyds. The same ratio is usedWhen making alkyds over 50% oil. For short oil alkyds you increase the mole ratio of glycerine to control viscosity and prevent gellation.Mohammed abul kasim 00966 506817837
What synthetic materials replaced natural materials?
There are many. At one time Linseed Oil was the resin used by painters. It has been replaced by synthetic resins such as alkyds. Styrene-Butadiene ruuber has replaced natural rubber in many applications. Plastics, polymers and composites have replaced or partially replaced many metals and wood.
