Alkydal U 601 TB is an isocyanate-modified alkyd resin which is especially suitable for the formulation of fast-drying, colourless or pigmented, DIY and decorative paints. The paint films have high mechanical strength, hardness and long-term flexibility. They also have good resistance to water, household cleaning agents and many chemicals. The use of the following driers is recommended: 0.03 - 0.04 % cobalt 6 0.60 - 1.00 % zirconium 18 0.05 - 0.15 % calcium 4 The metal content is always calculated on the solvent-free resin. Methylethyl ketoxime has proved ideal as an anti-skinning agent for these formulations. The amount required is 0.7 to 1.3 %, calculated on the solvent-free binder. Alkydal U 601 TB can be thinned with the usual solvents. Aliphatic hydrocarbons with small amounts of aromatic and terpene hydrocarbons are especially suitable. Wood finishes Rapid drying, excellent film hardness, high abrasion resistance and good long-term flexibility make Alkydal U 601 TB ideal for the formulation of parquet sealers, finishes for chairs and benches, coatings for window frames and other coatings for indoor and outdoor use. Because of the good water resistance of coatings based on Alkydal U 601 TB, they are also suitable for use as marine paints. Clear coats based on Alkydal U 601 TB can be matted with standard matting agents. In order to prevent the settling of mineral matting agents, the addition of small amounts of Alkydal U 601 tix TBA is recommended. Alkydal U 601 TB has good compatibility with long-oil alkyd resins, e.g. Alkydal F 681. Combination with such resins increases the solids content and thus the potential dry film thickness of the coatings. 4 : 1 combinations of Alkydal U 601 TB and F 681 can still be matted well. Coatings based on Alkydal U 601 TB dry to form defect-free films on most tropical woods so no special impregnation is necessary beforehand. However, given the many different types of tropical woods and their very different properties, trials should always be carried out. Fast-drying DIY and decorative paints Alkydal U 601 TB has good compatibility with standard pigments, including alkaline products. Pigmented coatings in which Alkydal U 601 TB is the sole binder are ideal for indoor application. Combination in a 1 : 1 ratio with other long-oil alkyd resins, e.g. Alkydal F 681, yields DIY paints with good impact resistance. Gloss retention and chalking resistance improve with increasing long-oil alkyd resin content. Silk-gloss coatings Pigmented silk-gloss coatings with very short drying times and high mechanical strength can be formulated with Alkydal U 601 TB as the sole binder and in combination with Alkydal U 601 tix TBA. The coatings can be applied by brushing, rolling, spraying and airless spraying. If larger amounts of thixotropic resins are added, good brushability is still achieved (lap time: 5 - 7 minutes) despite the short drying time.
