SYNTHALAT W 48

CASE Ingredients Functions
Binder & Resin

SYNTHALAT W 48 is a water-thinnable, specially modified alkyd resin. It is recommended for water-thinnable top coat formulations with good color retention and very good water resistance. It has applications in wood flooring, furniture coatings, industrial maintenance, wood coatings and finishes, marine coatings, and transportation.

Film Properties and Processing

Synthalat W 48 is used as a sole binder to make water-thinnable single-coat and top coat formulations. The coatings show early water resistance; white top coats have high whiteness retention. Primers and top coats can be dried both by forced-air drying, e.g. 15 min./85°C, and also at room temperature for 24 h, after which resistance to rain, mist and high atmospheric humidity is good. Rapid drying makes coatings based on Synthalat W 48 particularly suitable for spray application; smaller surface areas such as those encountered in retouching work can also be brush-painted. Dip coatings can also be made using appropriate formulations. Synthalat W 48 coatings are suitable for finishing agricultural equipment, commercial vehicles and construction machinery, and for industrial use in general. When adjusting the pH of the coating it is essential to make up the neutralizing agent which has volatilised during dispersion. We recommend adjusting the coating to pH 9.0 to 9.5 with ammonia. For Synthalat W48 we recommend following driers: 0,05%-0,15% Co, 0,1% Ca, 0,1-0,5% Zr relative to metal content on solid resin).
