Technical Details & Test Data

Technical Details

Drying conditions :

Thermal curing at temperatures between 80 and 200 ° C for 5 to 30 min. depending on the co-crosslinker and the catalyst.

Solubility / thinnability :

SiliXan W 550 is dilutable with water, water-miscible alcohols (ethanol, isopropanol) and a couple of standard glycol ether (butyl glycol, 1-methoxy-2- propanol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether). Dried residues on the walls of the container are not resoluble and should be filtered off.

Compatibility :

SiliXan W 550 is miscible with water compatible coating raw materials such as resins and binders based on isocyanates, epoxy, polyester or acrylate polyol, silicon or melamine. The compatibility must be checked in particular cases. Good compatibility is given with the melamine resins Maprenal 904/97 (INEOS), Cymel 303 & Cymel 328 (Cytec) as well as with the water dilutable isocyanate Basonat HW 1180 PC (BASF).

Storage & Handling

Storage

The shelf life of the product is 6 months, provided the original container is stored tightly closed at +5 to +25 ° C. Opened containers should be processed shortly. The expiry date of each batch appears on the product label. Storage beyond the indicated period does not necessarily mean that the product is useless. However, in this case a review of the properties for the respective application is essential for reasons of quality assurance.
