Why Do Alkyd Paints Fail to Dry? Drier and Resin Compatibility

Delayed drying and surface tackiness problems observed in alkyd paints are often caused not by the amount of drier used, but by incompatibility between the drier and the alkyd resin. Incorrect drier selection can lead to performance loss even when the correct resin is used. This article explains why drier compatibility is critical in alkyd resin systems and how drier selection should be made for long oil, medium oil and short oil alkyd systems from a manufacturer’s perspective.

Drying Problems in Alkyd Resin Production

A Manufacturer’s Approach to Drying Problems in Alkyd Resins Delayed drying, surface tackiness and performance issues in alkyd paints are mostly caused not by application, but by the structure of the alkyd resin itself. When fatty acid selection, acid value, molecular weight and drier compatibility are not properly designed, the system cannot perform as expected. In this article, we explain the real reasons behind drying problems in alkyd resin production and how these issues can be solved at the manufacturing stage, from a true producer’s perspective.
