Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Color from Winsor
& Newton is an alkyd paint. Alkyd is an
oil color made from pigment and oil modified alkyd resin that can be
thinned using conventional oil color solvents. This unique formulation
allows for quicker drying time than oil but slower
than acrylic. The oil modified alkyd resin binder includes a solvent
that is necessary to control the drying rate and consistency of the
color. The binder also produces a more fluid consistency than traditional oil paint.
Fast dry time, greater translucency and luminosity from the tube and a more fluid consistency are some
of the advantages of using alkyd instead of oil. Other advantages include
a consistency similar to oil, a longer dry time and the look of oil
when dry. Griffin Fast Dry Oil will remain workable on the palette for
4-8 hours yet is dry to the touch in 18-24 hours. Dry time varies with
thickness of paint and temperature. Alkyd paints are well suited for
most painting techniques like glazing and impasto.
The rapid dry time makes it a good choice for decorative painting. Its harder paint film makes it ideal for use on artwork and signs exposed
to outside elements.
