LIOPTAL TH 406

Lioptal TH 406 is a short-oil alkyd, modified with phenolic resin, commonly used in the formulation of fast-drying anti-corrosion primers and synthetic resin-based paints, as well as shop primers, knife fillers, oven-drying industrial primers, and top coats. Here's a breakdown of its characteristics, composition, use, solubility, compatibility, processing, and performance:

Characteristics:

• Lioptal TH 406 is a short-oil alkyd, modified with phenolic resin.
• It is supplied as 50% and 55% in a solvent mixture consisting of low boiling aliphatic white spirit and light aromatic solvent naphtha.
• The compositions are equivalent to previous forms of delivery.

Composition:

• Oil content: approximately 40% (tall/tung)
• Approximately 26% phthalic anhydride
• Approximately 20% of modified resins

Use:

• Suitable for fast drying anti-corrosion primers and synthetic resin-based paints, among other applications.

Solubility:

• Soluble in various solvents including petroleum spirit, white spirit, turpentine oil, toluene, xylene, solvent naphtha, and others.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with linseed oil, linseed oil-stand oil 30 P, short-oil non-drying alkyds, short-oil drying alkyds, and more.

Processing and Performance:

• Good compatibility with aliphatic hydrocarbons.
• Primers based on Lioptal TH 406 have good adhesion to iron and light metals.
• Basic pigments can be incorporated in limited amounts.
• Mixed driers based on cobalt/barium/zirconium are recommended for drying.
• Non-volatile content: 50 +/- 1% or 55 +/- 1%
• Flow time: 90 - 130 sec
• Viscosity: 7000 - 11000 mPas
• Acid value: max. 15
• Colour value (Gardner): max. 7
