    Miscibility In the proportions that are of technical interest, Luwipal 066 forms homo-
    geneous mixtures with most short-oil to medium-oil, nondrying alkyd re-
    sins, thermosetting acrylic resins, cellulose nitrate, polyvinyl alcohol, and
    brittle urea and melamine resins.

    Application
    Since Luwipal 066 cures to produce brittle coatings, the formulations must
    include some form of plasticizer. The following properties of Luwipal 066
    are exploited in the production of acid-curing and baking finishes:

    – In the presence of small amounts of lower alcohols, it is suitable for


    water-thinnable paints. The diluent tolerance for water can be further
    improved by adding small quantities of acids.

    – Because of its low viscosity, Luwipal 066 is especially suitable for high-
    solids paints. For instance, the solids content of a clear finish formu-
    lated with Luwipal 066 and low-viscosity alkyd or acrylic resins may be
    as much as 15 % higher than that of a finish of the same viscosity
    formulated with conventional butanol-etherified melamine resins.

    Solvent-type, acid-curing paints can be formulated from Luwipal 066


    blended in ratios of up to 1:1 with short-oil to medium-oil alkyd resins
    modified by nondrying or slightly drying oils. A suitable catalyst is
    p-toluenesulfonic acid added in proportions of 10 –15 %, expressed in
    terms of the Luwipal 066. The coatings have better resistance to chemi-
    cals than those obtained from urea-formaldehyde resins.

    Luwipal 066 has low reactivity in baking finishes and has to be cured at
    temperatures higher than 150 °C. The temperature can be lowered by
    adding p-toluenesulfonic acid in proportions of 1 – 2 %, expressed in terms
    of the Luwipal 066, but this measure shortens the shelf life. Luwipal 066
    can be included in coil-coating and can coatings, particularly as a cross-
    linking component.

    The properties of the finished product are affected by many factors


    (eg, choice of resin and processing conditions). The formulator must
    therefore carry out careful preproduction trials.

    Safety
    General Attention must be paid to the normal precautions for handling chemicals
    and to the measures prescribed in the local health regulations. The work-
    place must be well ventilated, skin care measures should be adopted and
    safety goggles should be worn.

    Safety Data Sheet The Safety Data Sheet for Luwipal 066 provides information on all the
    known safety data.

    Foodstuffs legislation Luwipal 066 conforms to FDA 21 CFR 175.300 “Resinous and polymeric
    coatings” and 21 CFR 176.170 “Components of paper and paperboard in
    contact with aqueous and fatty foods”.

    Storage
    If Luwipal 066 is kept in tightly closed drums or in storage tanks in a cool
    place but protected from frost, its shelf life is 12 months.

    Note
    The information submitted in this publication is based on our current
    knowledge and experience. In view of the many factors that may affect
    processing and application, these data do not relieve processors of the
    responsibility of carrying out their own tests and experiments; neither do
    they imply any legally binding assurance of certain properties or of suitabil-
    ity for a specific purpose. It is the responsibility of those to whom we sup-
    ply our products to ensure that any proprietary rights and existing laws
    and legislation are observed.
