SETAQUA® PU F106

SETAQUA® PU F106 is a type of aliphatic polyurethane dispersion used in varnish formulations, particularly known for its abrasion resistance and low VOC properties. Here's a detailed overview:

Product Type: SETAQUA PU F106 is characterized as an oil-modified, dual-crosslinking, aliphatic polyurethane dispersion.

Formulation: It is supplied in water, neutralized with trimethylamine, and is free from NMP and APEO.

Specifications:

• Non-Volatiles Content: Approximately 35%
• pH: Around 8.5 (in a 50% solution in water)
• Viscosity at 23°C: Less than or equal to 2000 mPa.s
• Mean Particle Size: Less than 150 (measured by Photon Correlation Spectroscopy)
• Density at 20°C: Approximately 1.04 g/ml
• Flash Point: Greater than 80°C

Compatibility and Applications: SETAQUA PU F106 can be blended with other aqueous binders, especially acrylic emulsions, although compatibility should always be tested. It's particularly suited for formulating low VOC warm-toned varnishes with excellent overall properties. It's recommended for use in single-pack varnishes, especially those requiring outstanding abrasion resistance. It can also be blended with acrylics for cost-performance balance and is suitable for both DIY and contractor-applied finishes, as well as industrial wood finishes.

Storage: When stored in original sealed containers at temperatures not exceeding 30°C, the product remains stable for 12 months. However, it's sensitive to frost, and freezing will damage it irreversibly. Prolonged storage or storage at higher temperatures may alter viscosity and particle size, potentially leading to sedimentation or coagulation. Contamination with certain bacteria, fungi, or algae may render the product unusable.

Labeling and REACH Applications: The product data sheet is only valid when used alongside the latest edition of the corresponding Safety Data Sheet. Any updates regarding safety-relevant information will be reflected in the Safety Data Sheet. Therefore, it's essential to consult the most recent Safety Data Sheet for current classification, labeling applications, processing methods, and safety-related data.

Important Note: SETAQUA PU F106 is described as a trial product, indicating that extensive experience with its use may be lacking. Therefore, no guarantee can be provided regarding its behavior during processing or use. Users should conduct their own tests to determine its suitability for specific applications.
