Reformulation Guidance Powder Coatings

Polyester/TGIC and Polyester:Epoxy Powder Coatings
1: For Polyester/TGIC or Polyester/Primid, test using a replacement ladder of
10, 15, 20 and 30% FP-480.
2: Make a 1:1 weight for weight replacement of TiO₂ with FP‐480.
3: Premix the dry components as usual incorporating the FP-480 along with the
TiO₂ Pigment.
4: Process as normal - no changes to the extrusion set-up is necessary.
5: Complete powder as normal.
