Produit de la condensation de l'acide gras d’une huile siccative avec un polyol(par exemple la glycérine), des isocyanates et des acides dibasiques(par exemple l'anhydride phtalique). [...] Ces produits de condensation, contrairement aux résines de polyuréthannes, sont livrés en un composant. Ils sèchent et durcissent à la température ambiante par oxydation au contact de l'air comme les résines alkydes siccatives. Les résines alkydes polyuréthannes ont des propriétés de résistance chimique et mécanique(dureté par exemple) supérieures à celles des alkydes. Leur tenue aux intempéries est bonne, mais inférieure cependant à celle des alkydes. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9sine%20alkyde%20polyur%C3%A9thanne
