Film Properties and Processing

Synthalat E 405, a very low viscosity non-drying alkyd resin, is primarily intended for the manufacture of full bodied wood and furniture coatings based on nitrocellulose. The rapid solvent evaporation of these types of nitrocellulose-Synthalat E 405 lacquers is a special characteristic which meets the higher demands of machine processing. Quickly sandable coatings have a very fast sandability when suitable zinc sterate types are incorporated that also meets the requirements of automatic sanding machines. In topcoats Synthalat E 405 gives paint films a very high gloss and surface hardness and very good body. In addition, these types of coatings have a very good light stability, so that Synthalat E 405 can also be used for the coating of lighter species of wood. Synthalat E 405 is also very suitable for the manufacure of acid curing wood finishes. In this case it is combined with unplasticized urea or melamine resins in a ratio of 6:4 to 7:3. All common dilute acids or acid salts can be used as the catalyst.
