SETAQUA® 6301

SETAQUA® 6301 is a waterborne polymer dispersion primarily used as an additive in waterborne lacquers to enhance hardness and drying speed. Here's a breakdown of its specifications, typical properties, technical features, application, storage conditions, and shelf life:

Solvent Composition:

• Demineralized water

Specifications:

• Non-Volatiles: 39 - 41%
• pH: 4.0 - 6.0

Typical Properties:

• Viscosity Brookfield: max. 10 cPa.s
• Minimum Film Formation Temperature (MFFT): min 90°C
• Particle size: approx 75 nm
• Density: approx 1.04 kg/dm³

Technical Features:

• SETAQUA 6301 acts as a hard polymer dispersion, enhancing hardness and drying speed in waterborne lacquers.
• It also improves block-resistance, sandability, and stackability at addition levels of 10-20 wt%.
• Addition of SETAQUA 6301 increases the need for coalescing solvents.
• Higher addition levels than 20 wt% require permanent plasticizers to ensure proper film formation.

Application:

• Suitable for air-drying interior and exterior clear and pigmented primers and finishes in the industrial wood coatings markets.

Storage Conditions:

• Avoid storing SETAQUA 6301 at temperatures below 0°C or above 35°C.
• Prevent exposure to direct sunlight and freezing.

Shelf Life:

• Standard shelf life is 365 days from the date of manufacturing, but it may be extended based upon retesting by allnex Quality Control.

In summary, SETAQUA® 6301 serves as a versatile additive for enhancing the performance of waterborne lacquers, particularly in industrial wood coatings applications, by improving hardness, drying speed, and other essential properties.
