Here's a detailed description of the formulation for a Long-Term Protection Waterborne White Primer utilizing Maincote PR71K:
Formulation: Long-Term Protection Waterborne White Primer
Raw Material Function Supplier
- Deionized Water Vehicle -
- Dispersing Agent (e.g., Edaplan 490) Dispersing Agent Münzing
- Defoamer (e.g., BYK 024) Defoamer BYK Chemie
- Co-Solvent (e.g., DPnB) Co-Solvent Dow Chemicals
- Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Pigment KRONOS
- Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) Filler OMYA
- Styrene Acrylic Emulsion (Maincote PR71K) Binder Dow Chemicals
- Antiflash Rust Additive (e.g., Ascotran-H10) Rust Inhibitor ASCOTEC
- Neutralizer (e.g., DMEA) Neutralizer ANGUS
- Thickener (e.g., ACRYSOL RM845) Thickener DOW
Procedure:
- Prepare Mill Base: Add water, dispersing agent, defoamer, co-solvent, TiO2, and CaCO3 into the mill-base tank. Disperse with high shear rate for 10-15 minutes.
- Let-Down Tank: In the let-down tank, add Maincote PR71K, defoamer, water, co-solvent premix, antiflash rust additive, and thickener, progressively with continuous stirring.
- Separate Mixing: Mix separately the anticorrosion additive and neutralizer.
- Final Mixing: Incorporate the anticorrosion additive and neutralizer mixtures into the main tank.
- Set Aside: Stir the components while setting aside for further processing.
Testing:
- Condensation Test: Perform ISO6270 condensation test on cold-rolled steel with specified dry film thickness and duration.
- Salt-Spray Test: Conduct ISO9227 salt-spray test on cold-rolled steel with specified dry film thickness and duration.
- Adhesion Test: Evaluate adhesion per ISO2409 after specified time intervals.
Paint Data:
- PVC: Approximately 22%
- PVC/CPVC: Approximately 0.36
- Gloss Level: 67 (60°)
