When do you use oil base primer?

At this piont, the only reason to use oil-based paints and primers is if you're painting over a surface that was previously painted with an oil-based paint - and don't want to remove all of the old paint. Latex paint will not adhere to oil paint. latex paint has fewer VOCs, much easier to clean, etc. Not completely true. Alkyd (oil) primers are still needed for bare plaster in older homes. I still use it for new wood (not composite) trim, too. Many alkyd primers are formulated to take latex topcoats and still provide superior leveling for a better finish with semi-gloss and gloss paints. Never, ever use alkyd primer on bare wallboard. It will ruin the face paper (the gray surface) on the wallboard.


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 use lacquer paint over alkyd primer?

Yes, the water borne latex paint manufactured today can be covered successfully with nearly any finish imaginable, including an alkyd primer. However, if possible I would exchange the alkyd with any water base primer/sealer. Costs less and the fumes aren't as offensive.


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.

Does PCR use RNA primers in its process?

No, PCR (polymerase chain reaction) uses DNA primers, not RNA primers, in its process.

What does RDCO stand for in Alkyd Resin?

RDCO stands for "Resin Ductility Control Oil" in Alkyd Resin. It refers to the oil component in alkyd resins that helps control the ductility or flexibility of the final product. This oil component plays a crucial role in determining the overall performance and characteristics of the alkyd resin, such as its drying time, hardness, and adhesion properties.


Can you paint alkyd paint over oil paint?

What they call "oil base paint" is really called "alkyd base paint." So yes, you can do that.


How can one create primers for PCR effectively?

To create primers for PCR effectively, start by selecting a target DNA sequence and designing primers that are specific to that sequence. Ensure the primers have similar melting temperatures and avoid self-complementarity. Test the primers for efficiency and specificity using PCR before proceeding with the experiment.
