SETALUX® 1159 SS-55

SETALUX® 1159 SS-55 is an acrylic polyol with a hydroxyl (OH) content of 4.2% (calculated on non-volatiles) and is primarily used in varnishes and clearcoats for refinishing applications. Here's a breakdown of its properties and applications as outlined in the technical datasheet:

Solvent Composition:

• Contains butyl acetate, solvent naphtha, and xylene in the ratio of 45/39/16.

Specifications:

• Non-Volatiles: 55 - 57%
• Viscosity at 23°C (at different concentrations): Ranging from 1.3 to 3.8 Pa.s
• Acid value: 1.6 - 3.9 mg KOH/g
• Color APHA (Lico): Maximum 50 APHA

Typical Properties:

• Density: 1.00 kg/dm³
• Flash point: 26°C

Technical Features:

• When combined with aliphatic polyisocyanates, it provides excellent appearance, high build, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance.
• Demonstrates excellent yellowing resistance under UV-light, as well as good gloss retention and cracking resistance in weathering tests.

Application:

• Mainly used in varnishes and clearcoats for refinishing purposes.
• Suitable for both room temperature drying and elevated temperature drying.

Storage Conditions:

• Should be kept tightly closed and stored in a cool, well-ventilated place.
• Must be kept away from heat, sparks, flame, and other potential sources of ignition.

Shelf Life:

• Standard shelf life is 720 days from the date of manufacturing, but it may be extended based on retesting by allnex Quality Control.

These properties and characteristics make SETALUX® 1159 SS-55 suitable for applications where high-quality clearcoats and varnishes with excellent appearance and durability are required, particularly in the automotive refinishing industry.
