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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can you use latex paint over melamine paint?
Not if the melamine paint is oil (alkyd) based.
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.

What is the difference between acrylic and latex?
There is little difference between many acrylics and latex paints.
Difference between acrylic latex and alkyd paint?
Acrylic latex paint is water-based and dries quickly to a flexible finish, making it ideal for interior and exterior surfaces. Alkyd paint is oil-based and has a longer drying time, providing a durable finish that is resistant to wear and tear. Each type of paint has different properties and uses, so it's important to choose the one that best suits your project.
How do you test if a paint is alkyd or latex?
Acetone is usually used to test if a paint is alkyd or latex, though rubbing alcohol will work as well. Use a Q-tip soaked in either acetone or rubbing alcohol on a surface painted by the paint. If it comes off, it's latex.
