SETAL AF 681 TB is in the formulation of decorative paints with excellent through-drying and good yellowing resistance. Also for flow coatings, DIY paints and air-drying coatings. General Setal A F 681 TB is a low-viscosity long-oil alkyd resin which is ideal for use in the formulation of DIY and decorative paints with excellent through-drying, a dust-free drying time of approx. 3.5 hours and a tack-free drying time of approx. 6 hours. Because of the relatively high acid value of Setal A F 681 TB, the following driers should be used: 0.04 % cobalt 6, 1.20 % zirconium 18 and 0.20 % calcium 4. The metal content is always calculated on the solvent-free resin. The use of these driers ensures good drying stability, even after prolonged storage. The addition of an anti-skinning agent is recommended. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are used to thin Setal A F 681 TBA. Higher boiling fractions are particularly suitable for adjusting the brushing viscosity. Standard pigments can be used to colour the formulations. The compatibility with alkaline pigments must always be tested in each individual case.

SETAL A U 601 TB is in the formulation of hard-wearing wood finishes, parquet sealers, fast-drying synthetic resin coatings and industrial primer surfacers. General SETAL A 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 and 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 - 1.3 %, calculated on the solventfree binder. SETAL A 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 filmhardness, high abrasion resistance and good longterm flexibility make SETAL A U 601 TB ideal for the formulation of parquet sealers, finishes for chairs and benches, coatings forwindowframes and other coatings for indoor and outdoor use. Because of the good water resistance of coatings based on SETAL A U 601 TB, they are also suitable for use as marine paints. Clear coats based on SETAL A U 601 TB can be matted with standard matting agents. In order to prevent the settling ofmineralmatting agents, the addition of small amounts of SETAL A U 601 TIX TBA is recommended. SETAL A U 601 TB has good compatibility with long-oil alkyd resins, e.g. SETAL A F 681. Combination with such resins increases the solids content and thus the potential dry film thickness of the coatings. 4 : 1 combinations of SETAL A U 601 TB and A F 681 can still be matted well. Coatings based on SETAL A U 601 TB dry to form defect-free films on most Tropical woods so no special impregnation is necessary before hand. However, given the many different types of tropical woods and their very different properties, trials should always be carried out.

VIACRYL SC 121/60X is a sole binder for road-marking paints. Fast drying primers and top coats for nonferrous metal and plastic substrates.It is used as road-marking paints Viacryl SC 121/60LG was especially developed as sole binder for road-marking paints. Road-marking paints based on this copolymer have excellent adhesion and abrasion resistance, permanent flexibility as well as good whiteness retention. It is, however, recommended to first conduct a trial application under the given conditions to ensure suitability. Coating of plastics One-coat paints based on Viacryl SC 121 show especially good adhesion to plastics such as PVC, acrylic sheet, polycarbonate and polyester reinforced components.Primers and top-coats on metallic substrates. In view of its fast initial and through drying as well as its good water resistance Viacryl SC 121 is suitable for formulation one-coat paints and industrial primers. Coatings based on this product show good adhesion to steel, aluminium and zinc. For aluminium substrates a binder pigment ratio of about 1 : 2 should be selected. For steel a ratio of 1 : 1.5 is recommended. Decorative finishes are generally pigmented in ratios of 1 : 1 (binder/pigment) on solids.

Automotive finishes, in particular for metallics, especially for metallic basecoats (wet-on-wet process). Stoving enamels with good outdoor stability and colour retention, for general industrial purposes. Viacryl SC 303/65XB is used in combination with melamine and urea resins for the formulation of stoving enamels. The principal application area is automotive finishes, in particular metallics and clear coats for two-coat metallic systems, in combination with cellulose acetobutyrate for basecoats in two-coat metallics, but also industrial applications such as electric night storage heaters, fluorescent lamps, household appliances, boilers and drying boxes. In addition to their good adhesion, gloss, hardness, flexibility and corrosion resistance, paint films based on Viacryl SC 303 have very good stability to heat and to UV radiation. This is impressively evident in the case of top coats in two-coat metallic paints which, after prolonged outdoor exposure in Florida, show neither discolouration, cracking nor gloss impairment.
