The Advantages of Benjamin Moore Alkyd Paint
When it comes to painting your home, there are so many options on the market, and knowing which type of paint you need can make all the difference in the quality of your end result. Paints are mixed with a variety of different base formulas that combine pigment with binder and determine its overall performance, dry-down times, and flow.
When you stop by our showroom locations in Des Moines & Waukee, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska, our paint professionals at the Color Store can help you find the best option for your needs—including high quality alkyd paint from Benjamin Moore.
Understanding Alkyd Paint
Alkyd paint has a similar look to many oil paints, but it works and feels very different when applied to a surface. Made with a combination of alkyd resins, its enamel finish dries hard and cures to a finish that stands up over time and is easy to maintain.
This paint does the trick for both interior and exterior paint jobs. Its smooth finish is ideal for doors, trim, cabinets, and furniture. It's even great on metal surfaces like outdoor railings due to its protective qualities.
Benjamin Moore is a top brand for innovative alkyd paints with consistent, high-quality performance. Their lines of alkyd paints are durable, long-lasting, versatile, and hold up to moisture like no other.
Benjamin Moore Advance®: Unique Waterborne Alkyd Paint
Benjamin Moore Advance® is praised for its unique formulation. It combines the exceptional leveling and flow characteristics of traditional alkyd paints, but with the added benefit of easy cleanup with soap and water—a perk typically associated with latex paint. This aspect simplifies the painting process, making it more accessible to DIYers who might not have professional painting equipment or who wish to avoid the use of harsh chemicals for cleanup. It cures to a hard, furniture-quality finish, available in over 3,500 colors across multiple finishes.
With outstanding coverage and hide, this the number of coats you need to achieve a flawless finish, combining the finish and durability of an alkyd paint with the user-friendly aspects of waterborne paints.
Unmatched Durability in Tough Environments
Benjamin Moore alkyd paint is highly durable and protects surfaces against everyday wear and tear. Its oil-based formula resists chipping, scratching, and impacts.
For high-traffic areas that need even more durability, check out urethane alkyd, which offers the many benefits of traditional alkyd paint with extra resistance to chemicals and abrasion than standard alkyd paint. If you're seeking a glossy finish, urethane alkyd enamel is ideal. The blend of alkyd resin and urethane delivers a stunning, high-gloss surface that enhances the appearance of any project.
