- Compatibility
DeCAL 4202 is widely compatible with other acrylic, stireneacrylic, PVA, polyesters and shellac resins. Both will tolerate various water soluble solvents such as glycol ethers alcohols and low boiling point esters and ketones, and general pigment compatibility is very good with excellent pigment wetting and color development being achievable.
- Other Uses
- DeCAL 4201 is also suited for use as binders and modifiers for other systems such as waterbased paints and coatings for use in the art and craft, and paper coatings industries.
- Improvements in water and solvent resistance can be achieved via crosslinking through the free carboxyl groups in the polymers. Typical crosslinkers include Zirconium compounds, UF and MF resins and carbodiimides.
- DeCAL 4202 is supplied pre-neutralized with the commonly used Monoethanolamine(MEA).
