Alkalinity Control in most invert emulsion mud is obtained by the addition of common calcium hydroxide or in calcium oxide. The use of a calcium base is particularly relevant when tall oil fatty acid soaps are in use. Oil-base muds do not suffer from the problems of hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide contamination that can occur in a water base fluid. However, such contamination in an oil base mud will show itself as the increased addition rate of lime to maintain alkalinity.

Alkyd coatings are a major type of organic coating. The alkyds and modified glyptals are used as protective & decorative coatings for consumer products. These coatings are also used as corrosion protective coatings for metals. Alkyd coatings may be either air-drying or baking types. The air drying types are modified chemically by incorporating unsaturated fatty-acid groups into the polymer structure. These are used for such diverse applications as air-drying water emulsion wall paints and baked enamels for automobiles and appliances. The properties of oil-modified alkyd coatings depend on the specific oil used as well as percentage of oil in the composition.

The alkyd paints are made from alcohol and acid. These are mostly used for decorative purposes and for protection of steel exposed to relatively mild environments. These are compatible with other oil painting mediums made of oils, resins, and turpentine or mineral spirits.
