• Interior/exterior general metal powder coating applications • Interior/exterior plastic component coating applications • Exterior wood coatings for furniture applications • Automotive refinish applications
Formulation Guidelines Solvent Selection – Because the hydroxyl functionality of alcohols and glycol ethers can react with the isocyanates, their use should be avoided. Urethane-grade solvents should be used when available. Ketones will give the best viscosity/VOC due to a combination of good solvency and low density. Esters are the next best choice although they do not provide as low a viscosity/VOC as ketones due to their higher density. Generally, the lower the molecular weight of the solvent within the family, the lower the obtainable viscosity/VOC. Aromatics such as xylene and toluene provide good solvency and can be readily used in combination with the more polar solvents. Glycol ether acetates can be used but normally do not provide low viscosity/VOC. PM-acetate should be avoided due to film retention characteristics.

Crosslinker Selection – For maximum gloss retention properties, aliphatic isocyanates are recommended. The Trimer or Biuret versions of hexamethylene diisocyanate can be used. The Trimer version may give better gloss retention and reactivity. A ratio of 1.05:1 of isocyanate to hydroxyl is normally recommended in the industry. However, a ratio of 1:1 of isocyanate to hydroxyl is more economical and does not sacrifice performance properties.
Catalysis – Catalysis with 0.005% dibutyltin dilaurate on total binder solids is normally recommended. Higher catalyst levels will result in shorter pot lives and faster cure rates. Other catalysts such as zinc octoate and other metallic soaps can also be used.
Additives – BYK1-320 is recommended at 2 pounds per 100 gallons of combined formulation. BYK1- 320 results in excellent flow and leveling as well as providing air release during manufacture and application. If a dispersant is necessary, Lecithin or Disparlon2 KS-273N is recommended. For higher film build, thixatropes such as bentonite clays, fumed silicas, or organic additives such as Thixatol3 can be used.
ECONOMICAL LIQUID POLYURETHANE COATINGS
Joncryl® 804 is a solid flake, acrylic polyol resin with a high equivalent weight that can be used to manufacture economical liquid urethane coatings at conventional solids. Joncryl® 804 has a high equivalent weight of 1,250 that results in a low isocyanate demand and low coating cost. Joncryl® 804’s polyol acrylic backbone provides gloss retention and performance characteristics suitable for urethane applications. Joncryl® 804 should especially be considered where cost of the supplied coating is a priority. Joncryl® 804 is also used in powder coating applications.
Viscosity Reduction Curves The following curves show representative viscosity curves for Joncryl® 804 in various solvents.
Flake Cutting Procedures Joncryl® 804 can be cut in-situ during the coating manufacture or pre-cut and stored for later use. The in-situ method is generally preferred for maximum cost saving and is illustrated in Formula 435-A (page 3). A pre-cut may be prepared by the following method. A high-speed disperser or equivalent is suitable for preparing the solution cut. • Charge solvent to mixing vessel and begin mixing at high speed. • Add Joncryl® 804 flakes while mixing. Increase speed of mixing to compensate for increasing viscosity. Maintain vortex during cutting phase. • After all flake has been added, cover tank and mix at high speed until resin dissolves. • Filtration during filling is recommended to remove any un-dissolved material.

HYDROXY FUNCTIONAL ACRYLIC POLYOL FOR POWDER COATINGS
Joncryl® 804 is a hydroxyl functional acrylic polyol designed for UV-resistant, urethane acrylic powder coatings. These coatings typically utilize blocked polyisocyanate crosslinkers and result in very hard, durable films. Joncryl® 804 provides an excellent alternative to UV-sensitive polyester powder coatings. This polyol offers excellent storage stability, flow, and appearance. The softening point is 105°C and the acid number of solids is 15.
Joncryl® 804 reacts readily with any crosslinker designed for use with hydroxyl functional resins in powder coatings. The rate of reaction can be accelerated with the use of catalysts such as dibutyltin dilaurate.
Starting Point Formulation The following starting point formulation is recommended for an initial evaluation of Joncryl® 804. Additional optimization of the formulation may be required to achieve desired results for specific applications. The combining ratio with Vestigon5 BF-1530 is 82:18.
