Cytec Provides Training on Waterborne Alkyd Resins for Architectural Coatings

Shanghai, China, July 2nd, 2012 - Cytec Industries Inc., (NYSE: CYT) will present its technical and research developments on the chemistry of waterborne alkyd resins at the PCI (Paints & Coatings Industry) Training Course of Coating Formulations from 17-20 July 2012 at Changzhou, China.

Cytec’s presenter, Mr Chua Guan Hoe, Application Technology Chemist, will lecture on the alkyd chemistry, functions, formulations, key features and benefits of Cytec’s new generation of waterborne alkyd resins developed for wood and metal applications.

Mr Chua said, “The new generation of waterborne alkyd resins shows improved performances which are perfect for various applications. They can be used as the main resin, co-resin or modifier resin in ambient cured waterborne coatings. The benefits from this range of alkyds include high gloss, quick dirt pick-up resistance, shear stability and good adhesion on various substrates. An added advantage is its significant consumption of renewal raw materials and low VOC (volatile organic compound) content which is fast gaining importance in the coatings industry.”

Cytec’s new generation of alkyds are known as RESYDROL™ waterborne alkyd resins. For more information, please visit http://www.cytec.com/Liquids/architecturalmkt.php.
