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.

Can you paint over latex paint with alkyd lacquer paint that is for concrete floors?
I wouldn't recommend it. Some of the chemicals in the alkyd will dissolve the latex and the alkyd won't "stick". It's best to remove the latex using laquer thinner or xylene first.

What is styrenated alkyd resin?
It is a fast drying alkyd which is made by reacting the fatty acid, conjugated double bonds, in a Diels-Alder type reaction, with liquid styrene monomer. It sets up very quickly to become handleable, then dries a normal alkyd. They have good adhesion to aluminum and acrylic plastics. They are used to make hammered finishes , because they are usually in Xylene. There is a sister resins made by adding vinyl toluene, which are in an aliphatic solvent. They both have a specific re-coating window of under 4 hrs .
