Where the Unikyd line goes to work
Decorative paints
High-gloss enamels and architectural finishes. Long-oil alkyds L-80, L-100 and S 705 are common starting points.
Industrial primers and enamels
Air-drying systems with controlled dry time. Medium-oil S 701 and rosin-modified LR-50, DR-50 and DR-70 are common choices.
Automotive refinishing
Fast-drying chain-stopped alkyd Unikyd S-72 for refinish primers and topcoats.
Steel furniture
Hammertone enamel finishes (AMR-90) with strong corrosion resistance.
Wood finishes
Urethane alkyd FD-60 for tougher wood and metal finishes.
Stoving enamels
Short-oil CO-48 paired with Unimine MF 501 melamine crosslinker.
