Ottopol 523 is a hard acrylic emulsion with hydroxyl functionality. This functionality allows crosslinks with melamine and isocyanates for excellent solvent resistance. Formulations using aziridine will require a plasticizer or coalescent solvent to aid in the film formation of the dried coating. The use of aziridine will result in a short pot life and will cross-link at room temperature. Formulations using melamine and PTSA (Para-Toluene Sulfonic Acid) are stable for a minimum of thirty days. The starting formulation requires a web temperature of 180°F to activate the cross-linking of the resins. An increase in PTSA will lower the temperature required to activate cross-linking, but larger amounts of PTSA will increase the hardness of the dry film. There are no plasticizers or coalescent aids required for film formation when using a melamine resin with this product.

Product Highlights

HIGH BLOCKING

  • Catalyzed coatings inherently have high blocking properties, when compared to systems that are not cross-linked.The cured coating has excellent resistance to many solvents and liquids. The stain resistance is excellent. Food and foodscontaining dyes can completely dry on the surface without stainin.

Place component 1& 2 in a container with agitation and allow to mix for 10 minutes. Premix components 3, 4, & 5 in a suitable container for several minutes. There will be a mild exothermic reaction.. Some water must be included in this step to prevent precipitation between the acid and amine. Pour the pre-mixture into the container and allow to mix for 10 minutes. Viscosity 200 - 500 cps
