alkyd



A synthetic resin, generally made from pthalic acid and glycerol. Alkyds can be molded at high speed under low pressure and cured quickly. They are widely used as paint resins and in products where good insulation, high strength, and good temperature, voltage, and humidity stability are required, such as in car ignition systems.
