alkyd
Synthetic coating resin
Alkyd refers to a class of synthetic resins made from polyhydric alcohols and acids, widely used in paints, varnishes, and protective coatings.
Alkyd paints dry harder and more durable than oil-based alternatives, making them popular for trim, cabinets, and metal surfaces: The painter recommended alkyd enamel for the bathroom door.
The name blends "alcohol" and "acid."
