Alkyd Resins for Thermosetting
Short oil alkyd resins are typically used as binders for coatings and printing inks. For lacquers in particular, they are used in combination with nitro cellulose (NC) or cellulose acetate butylate (CAB), which have excellent drying properties.
Hard coating films can be formd out of crosslinking between alkyd resins and amino resins.

Powder Polyester Resins for Coatings
FINEDIC products are polyester resins for powder coatings that do not contain organic solvents or water. FINEDIC are highly regarded as environmentally-friendly because they do not release VOCs when forming forming coating films and they can be recovered and reused. DIC offers a lineup of various polyester resin products matching to different applications. For blocked polyisocyanate curing, DIC offers various hydroxyl group-containing polyester resins suited to meet performance demands such as weather resistance, mechanical properties, and workability. For epoxy curing and HAA (hydroxyalkyl amide) curing, DIC provides some acid-terminal polyester resins.
