Distinguishing Features

Phenodur PR 516 is more reactive and lighter in color than Phenodur PR 217, PR 722, PR 723 and PR 897.

Phenodur PR 516 is comparable with Phenodur PR 515 but does not contain Bisphenol A as monomer.

Properties and Uses

Phenodur PR 516 has been preferably developed to be combined with high molecular weight epoxide resins, e.g. Beckopox EP 304, EP 307 and EP 309. Such combinations are suitable to formulate transparent, heat curing coatings for the interior coating of metal packaging goods like collapsible tubes, cans and containers for water, oils and food. Such coatings resist to a grat variety of acids, alkalines, organic solvents and food.

In combinations with epoxide resins excellent adhesion, hardness and flexibility. Very good resistance against chemicals, mineral oils and food. Coatings based on Phenodur PR 516 are preferably used for the interior coating of metal packaging goods.

Processing

Phenodur PR 516 combinations with high molecular weight epoxide resins have to be stoved for 10 - 20 min. at 190 - 210 °C to be fully cured. Acidic catalysts, like Additol XK 406 (in amounts of 2 - 5 %, calculated on solid resin), may be used to reduce the temperature to 180 - 200 °C and may improve adhesion and hardness. In multiple layer coatings, the first coats are not subjected to the full cure, the coating system as a whole is completely cured only after the last coat has been applied. In case of surface defects, more likely with catalyzed systems, the additon of approximately 1 - 3 % of a melamine resin like Maprenal MF 800 acts as a excellent flow agent.

A precondensation between the phenolic and the epoxide resin at approximately 100 °C (under reflux) also improves the flow of the finished coating. The mixing ratio between Phenodur PR 516 and the epoxide resin should be between 1 : 2 and 1 : 4 (calculated as solid resins). The light color of the cured film can be tinted with a coloring resin like Phenodur PR 308, towards a "gold lacquer".
