WorléeKyd RM 232

WorléeKyd RM 232 is a short oil drying alkyd resin primarily based on conjugated castor oil and special fatty acids. It is commonly used in the production of air and forced drying primers and top coats, as well as in acid curing systems. Here are its specifications and applications:

Description:

• W´Kyd RM 232 is a short oil drying alkyd resin based on conjugated castor oil and special fatty acids. It is mainly used for the manufacture of air and forced drying primers and top coats, and it is also suitable for acid curing systems.

Technical Data:

• Oil content: Approximately 32%
• Content of phthalic anhydride: Approximately 37%
• Non-volatile content, 1h/125 °C, DIN EN ISO 3251: 60% ± 1
• Colour (50% in xylene, DIN ISO 4630): Maximum 10
• Acid value, on solids, DIN EN ISO 3682: Maximum 15
• Flow time, 20 °C, 50% in xylene, DIN 53211-4: 100 - 120 sec.
• Delivery form: 60% in xylene

Compatibility:

• W´Kyd RM 232 is compatible with most short oil alkyds, unmodified urea formaldehyde and melamine resins, and nitrocellulose. However, due to the variety of products on the market, it is advisable to conduct trials in advance.

Solubility:

• Completely soluble in aromatics, glycol ethers, esters, and ketones.
• Partially soluble in low alcohols and aliphatics.

Application and Properties:

• Used in conjunction with reactive unmodified urea and/or melamine resins for stoving primers, top coats, and one-coat paints.
• Recommended ratio for combinations with urea formaldehyde resins is 6:4 or 7:3, and with melamine resins is 7:3 or 8:2, calculated on solids content.
• Recommended stoving conditions: 30 min. - 130 °C to 10 min. - 160 °C.
• Exhibits good air drying properties, leading to anti-corrosive primers and top coats with good adhesion, elasticity, and resistance properties.
• Combining with short oil alkyd resins can enhance flexibility and reduce brittleness.
• Suitable for acid curing paints, achieving medium reactivity when combined with amino resins in ratios between 6:3 and 6:4.

WorléeKyd RM 232 offers versatility in various coating applications, from air drying to stoving systems, with enhanced properties such as adhesion and flexibility.
