English translation:alkyd resin emulsion and acrylic base
Explanation:
I have definitely come across "alkyd resin emulsion"...which is a dispersion of an alkyd resin in water. Hope this helps.

Explanation:
To simply matters. Or even "with alkyd and acrylic hybrid emulsions".

Since an alkyd isw a resin, there is little point in adding "resin", especially since "alkyd paint" is a very standard expression.

We do indeed appear to be talking about hybrid paints with both alkyds and acrylics forming a common water emulsion.
