ACURE™ 510-400

ACURE™ 510-400 is a low molecular weight, acetoacetate functional resin designed for use as a kinetic additive in ACURE, non-isocyanate systems. Here are the key points from the provided technical datasheet:

Introduction:
ACURE 510-400 serves as a kinetic additive in ACURE, non-isocyanate systems, enhancing the water and humidity resistance of ACURE paint films. Its acetoacetate functionality allows it to crosslink and react within the polymer network.

Type:
Acetoacetate functional diluent.

Form of Delivery (F.O.D.):
Delivered as 100% active substance.

Product Data:

• Acid value, on n.v.: maximum 1 mg KOH/g
• Viscosity (77°F): D – G Gardner – Holdt
• Color: maximum 5 Gardner
• Density: 9.80 ± 0.10 lbs/gal
• Flash Point: 230°F Setaflash
• CH equivalent weight (calc.): 65

Performance Highlights:

• Acts as a kinetic additive, increasing humidity resistance.
• Moderately increases film hardness levels.

Suggested Uses:
ACURE 510-400 is recommended for use in ACURE systems designed for premium topcoats applied over epoxy primers.

Storage:
The product is stable for 1 year at temperatures up to 100°F when stored in the original sealed containers.

Formulating Guidelines:
Guidance regarding the usage levels of this resin and other kinetic additives can be found in the "ACURE Paint Formulating Guide" and "The ACURE Formulator" (an MS Excel-based kinetic additive calculation tool), available upon request.

Precautions:
Before using ACURE 510-400, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for information on identified hazards, recommended personal protective equipment, and procedures.

Storage and Handling:
Avoid exposing the product to high-temperature conditions, direct sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents, alkalis, or acids. Store and handle in suitable containers such as stainless steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene, or baked phenolic lined containers. Thoroughly wash hands after handling, keep the container tightly closed, and use with adequate ventilation. Refer to the SDS for the recommended storage temperature range for ACURE 510-400.
