Alkydal F 310 SN Short-oil alkyd resin Bayer MaterialScience Alkyd Resins >> Short-oil Architectural / Decorative Automotive OEM >> Top coats Naphtha 100 Soluble in aromatic and terpene hydrocarbons, esters, ketones, glycol ethers and glycol ether esters Slightly soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons and alcohols Short-oil alkyd resin based on saturated fatty acids In the formulation of automotive top coats (OEM) and coatings for household appliances. The resin has excellent film and mechanical properties and is weatherstable and resistant to yellowing and acids. Alkydal F 310 SN compatible with standard commercial urea and melamine resins. However, given the number of different amino resins on the market, it is always advisable to test compatibility in each individual case. With an alkyd resin/amino resin ratio of 75 : 25 to 70 : 30 (calculated on solid resin), optimum film properties are yielded by stoving for 30 min at 120 to 130 °C. For an alkyd resin based on saturated fatty acids, Alkydal F 310 SN is extremely reactive. Its high resistance to yellowing during overbaking allows a very wide stoving range of 100 to 200 °C. This resin yields high-bodied and hazefree films. The coatings can be applied with standard equipment. Weather resistance Weathering test results show that gloss retention and chalking resistance are good, even in sub-tropical conditions. Stability To ensure the stable viscosity of the product in combination with amino resins, it is advisable for safety reasons to use alcohol solvents.
