Water-Reducible High Gloss Alkyd Formulation for General Industrial Use

This document details a starting point formulation for a high-performance paint aimed at improving adhesion, corrosion resistance, and reverse impact compared to benchmark formulations. It's intended for general industrial use.

Here's a breakdown of the formulation:

1. Deionized Water: Serves as a solvent.
2. Borchi® Burst DF 300: Acts as a defoamer.
3. Borchi® Gen 1252: Functions as a dispersant.
4. Kronos 2310: Titanium Dioxide, provides pigmentation.
5. Polychem 7775-EB-70 Resin: The primary resin binder.
6. Butyl Cellosolve: Solvent to adjust viscosity.
7. Triethylamine: Acts as an amine.
8. Cobalt Hydro-Cure® IV Drier, Calcium Hex-Cem® Drier, Borchers® Dry 4012 aqua US Drier: Driers to facilitate curing.

The formulation includes specifications such as weight per gallon (Lb/gal), viscosity, non-volatile volume (NVV), volatile organic compound (VOC) content, pigment volume concentration (PVC), and pH.

Additionally, the document highlights that each customer must test the product for their specific use and emphasizes Borchi® performance additives' features, such as being VOC- and silicone-free, as well as the responsibilities of the user regarding testing and application.

Furthermore, it presents the results of tests comparing the optimized formula with benchmark formulations in terms of reverse impact, corrosion resistance, and adhesion, demonstrating improved performance in each case.
