VESTANAT® EP-EF 201

VESTANAT EP-EF 201 is a ready catalyzed polyethoxysilane primarily used as a crosslinker or sole binder in the formulation of highly scratch- and chemical-resistant coatings, particularly for applications like wood, plastic, maintenance, car refinish, and DIY projects. Here are some key points about it:

1. General Description:
   • It's designed for use in highly scratch-resistant coatings, including NISO coatings (Non-isocyanate coatings).
   • Suitable for "do-it-yourself" (DIY) applications.
2. Typical Data:
   • Solid content: 96% by weight
   • Viscosity at 23°C: Approximately 350 mPas
   • Color: ≤ 50 mg Pt/l (Hazen)
3. Properties and Applications:
   • Can be used as a sole binder or in combination with other resins (e.g., acrylate resins) to formulate coatings.
   • Curing takes place from 0°C.
   • No isocyanate-based hardener is required for the system, but it can be used in combination with VESTANAT EP-EF 201 if needed.
4. Storage:
   • Store in a tightly sealed and nitrogen-blanketed container to prevent moisture ingress.
   • Recommended storage temperature is room temperature to avoid increased yellowing.
   • Storage stability data is yet to be established.
5. Safety and Handling:
   • Consideration should be given to the formation of ethanol during curing.
   • Safety handling information is available in the safety data sheet.

It's important to note that as an experimental product, definitive statements regarding its properties, processability, and long-term performance are not yet established. Users should conduct careful inspection and testing, and performance should be verified through testing by qualified experts.
