Water-Based Wood Care Oil, Clear, 1K Alkyd Emulsion, Linseed Oil

This document outlines formulations for creating a waterborne wood stain that uses the Alberdingk OP 100 emulsion. It aims to enhance the product's storage stability, particle distribution, and chemical resistance. Here's a detailed summary of the key points:

Objective

• Improve Storage Stability: Maintain stability of the emulsion when stored at 40°C for two weeks.
• Achieve Smaller Particle Distribution: Ensure a finer and more uniform particle size within the emulsion.

Components and Functions

Part 1: Alberdingk OP 100 Emulsion

• Control Formulation: Standard formulation without Borchi® Gel A LA.
• Borchi® Gel A LA Formulation: Includes Borchi® Gel A LA to act as a stabilizer.Ingredients:
  • Alberdingk OP 100 Resin: Main resin component.
  • Boltorn W 3000 Emulsifier: Helps to emulsify the resin in water.
  • Deionized Water: Solvent.
  • Borchi® Gel A LA: Stabilizer to improve storage stability and particle distribution.

  Instructions: Each ingredient is incorporated fully before adding the next.

Part 2: Waterborne Wood Stain Formulation

• Control Formulation: Base formulation without high-performance catalysts.
• Formulation with Borchi® Dragon: Includes Borchi® Dragon catalyst.
• Formulation with Borchi® OXY Coat 1310: Includes Borchi® OXY Coat 1310 catalyst.Ingredients:
  • Alberdingk OP 100 Emulsion: Base emulsion.
  • Alberdingk AC 2736 (Acrylic Resin): Provides additional resin for the wood stain.
  • Various Additives: Including defoamers, wetting agents, leveling agents, slip agents, solvent (Dowanol DPnB), biocide, and thickeners.
  • Specific Additives:
    • Borchi® Dragon: Catalyst for improved performance.
    • Borchi® OXY Coat 1310: Another catalyst for performance enhancement.
    • Borchi® Gol Series: Wetting, leveling, and slip agents.
    • Borchi® Gel THIX 921: Thickener to adjust viscosity.

  Instructions: Fully incorporate each ingredient before adding the next.

Performance Testing

• Microscopic Analysis: Examines particle size distribution at 40x magnification.
  • Visualization:
    • Yellow lines: Stabilization agent (Borchi® Gel A LA).
    • Red bubbles: Resin (Alberdingk OP 100).
    • Blue lines: Emulsifier (Boltorn W 3000).
• pH and Viscosity Measurements: Compared between the control and Borchi® Gel A LA formulation.

Chemical Resistance Testing

• Substrates: Walnut and Beech wood.
• Tested Substances: Water, coffee, ammonia, hand cream, ketchup, mustard, red wine.
• Results: Assessed after 2 hours of exposure to evaluate resistance.

Conclusion

The formulation aims to create a high-performance waterborne wood stain with enhanced stability, finer particle distribution, and improved chemical resistance. Borchi® Gel A LA and other Borchi® additives are critical in achieving these properties.
