Reference product: alkyd resin, long oil, without solvent, in 70% white spirit solution state [kg]
Location: RER - Europe
Alkyds are a large and diverse family of polyesters. Long oil alkyds are often used in architectural paints. This dataset stands for one specific long oil alkyd and should not be used for other alkyds if its contribution to the overall result is im-portant. The data quality is not sufficient to allow for e.g. a comparative assess-ment of different binders of paints.

[NEW TEXT for v3] The dataset represents solution. The solvent is NOT part of the dataset ... but needs to be added in order to have a full balance.
[The full documentation of this dataset was originally provided in the corresponding ecoinvent report from the Swiss Centre for Life Cycle Inventories, which is accessible for free to guests and users of ecoinvent version 2 (https://www.ecoinvent.org/login-databases.html). The dataset may subsequently have been subjected to central changes to the database, as described in the respective change report for each new release.]
[This dataset has been generated using the system model "Allocation, cut-off by classification". A system model describes how activity datasets are linked to form product systems. The allocation cut-off system model subdivides multi-product activities by allocation, based on a physical properties, economic, mass or other properties. By-products of waste treatment processes are cut-off, as are all by-products classified as recyclable. Markets in this model include all activities in proportion to their current production volume.
Version 3 of the ecoinvent database offers three system models to choose from. For more information, please visit: https://www.ecoinvent.org/database/system-models-in-ecoinvent-3/system-…)]
