Alkyd paints are coatings made from synthetic resins, offering exceptional adhesion and resistance to environmental factors. While they take longer to dry than acrylic paints, they form a strong, durable layer that withstands mechanical stress, chemical exposure, and moisture. These properties make alkyd paints an excellent choice for exterior applications, such as painting metal and wooden surfaces, as they provide reliable protection against weather conditions. Additionally, they create a smooth, abrasion-resistant finish that maintains its appearance even under heavy use.
