Glyptal
Glyptal redirects here, but what is it? Webster says Chemical Industry Resin formed by condensation of polyhydric alcohols with polybasic acids. They usually contain fatty acids as well(oil-modified alkyds). Source: European Union. glyptal.com says they´re a 1985 spin-off of the liquids research division of G.E. Is it a brand name? --Maxus96 (talk) 22:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why it redirects here. I know that it is a common brandname for an engine block coating commonly applied to the internal surfaces of the oil cavity (at least in the US). Wizard191 (talk) 14:20, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Btw., i found the name in rp Feynmans book "surely you´re jokin", where he says it was sticking all over the place (of a cyclotron) from people using it to fix the vacuum. --Maxus96 (talk) 20:38, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There is something two points up on this page. Crosslinked polyester resin sounds sensible, if people use it to glue up their vacuum apperatures. Probably someone should just change the redirect to a short disambiguation. --Maxus96 (talk) 02:45, 6 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I converted glyptal is a disambig page. Wizard191 (talk) 18:03, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
