SETAL 199 SS-55 is a good drying properties, very good body, good colour, gloss retention and exterior durability. It is used as auto-repair enamels; Enamels for cars, trucks and buses; Enamels for tractors and agricultural equipment; Air-drying industrial enamels.

SETAL 142 XX-60 is very fast drying, good elasticity and yellowing resistance (also at elevated temperature), good adhesion on steel. It is used as fast drying industrial topcoats. Fast drying corrosion resistant primers. General purpose stoving enamels.

VIALKYD AS 6140sca/49SD60, directly after production, is supplied as a liquid pumpable urethane thixotropic alkyd, which can be used as sole binder or in combination with other alkyds for decorative paints and wood stains. After a while without stirring some thixotropy occurs which affects or inhibits pumpability (see Storage). Concerning gloss retention and weather resistance VIALKYD AS 6140sca/49SD60 shows better properties than polyamide thixotropic alkyds. The thixotropy of urethane thixotropic alkyds can be easier destroyed by stirring than that of polyamide thixotropic resins. Thixotropy can be activated and adjusted by adding a polar solvent, for example propylene glycol. In order to avoid cloudiness we recommend not to add more than four percent propylene glycol (calculated on resin solids). The activated and adjusted thixotropy will stay largely constant after ripening for one week longest. Recommended driers are cobalt (0.05 % metal, calculated on resin solids), zircon (0.15 % metal, calculated on resin solids), and calcium (0.1 % metal, calculated on resin solids). To avoid skinning we recommend the addition of about 1.5 % ADDITOL XL 297 (calculated on resin solids).

VIALKYD VAF 6091 is a High Solids long oil alkyd resin for the production of High Solids primers, wood stains and top coats. A solid content of 90 % by weight is possible in white high gloss paints. Application properties are the same as with normal conventional alkyds. Applying paints based on VIALKYD VAF 6091 on primers usually need only one layer, which leads to additional reduction of solvent emission. For environmental reasons we suggest the use of lead-free driers, for example zircone.
