WorléeKyd BS 830

WorléeKyd BS 830 (60% In White Spirit 145-195) is an air-drying silicone-modified alkyd resin primarily used for manufacturing lasting protection coatings for steel constructions. High gloss paints based on this resin exhibit good drying and resistance properties, along with very good gloss retention. Here are its technical details:

• Oil content: Approximately 45%
• Content of phthalic anhydride: Approximately 17%
• Silicone content: 30%
• Non-volatile content, 1h/125 °C: 60% ± 1
• Colour (Gardner), 50% in white spirit 145 - 195: Maximum 10
• Acid value, on solids: Maximum 15
• Flow time, 20 °C, 50% in white spirit 145 - 195: 55 - 70 seconds
• Delivery form: 60% in white spirit 145 - 195

WorléeKyd BS 830 is compatible with nearly all long oil alkyds, phenolic and maleic modified hard resins. It is partially compatible with some medium-length alkyd resins. The resin is well soluble in all common solvents.

This resin is recommended as the sole binder or in combination with conventional long and medium oil alkyd resins for manufacturing high-quality industrial and decorative paints, especially those requiring lasting protection, such as steel constructions.

For drying, the following addition of driers is recommended:

• Cobalt (Co): 0.04 - 0.07%
• Calcium (Ca): 0.10 - 0.30% (metal calculated on solid alkyd resin)
