RDCO stands for "Resin Ductility Control Oil" in Alkyd Resin. It refers to the oil component in alkyd resins that helps control the ductility or flexibility of the final product. This oil component plays a crucial role in determining the overall performance and characteristics of the alkyd resin, such as its drying time, hardness, and adhesion properties.

What is the use of maleic anhydride in alkyd resin?
Maleic anhydride is used in alkyd resin formulations as a co-monomer to improve hardness, adhesion, and durability of the resin. It reacts with other monomers and components to create a crosslinked network structure in the resin, enhancing its mechanical properties and chemical resistance.
What is the difference between rosin and resin and can one produce resin from rosin?
Rosin is a solid form of resin derived from pine trees and is typically used in making violin bows sticky. Resin is a sticky, flammable substance produced by certain plants. While you cannot produce resin from rosin, you can convert rosin back into resin by heating it.
Do maritime pine contain resin?
Yes, maritime pines (Pinus pinaster) do contain resin. The resin is extracted from the tree through a process called tapping, where small holes are made in the bark to collect the resin.
Where can i find resin treatment tray?
You can find resin treatment trays at art supply stores, resin supply stores, or online platforms such as Amazon, Etsy, or specialized resin craft websites. Make sure to choose a tray that is compatible with resin and fits the size requirements for your projects.
Is cerium active?
It is reasonably reactive. It has been used as a drier for alkyd paints. In that form it was Cerium Octoate.
