Fortcryl 6074 is mainly used as a binder in the manufacture of latex paint, textured, graffito, and spackling. It is a high performance resin, enabling formulations with high resistance to wet abrasion, and high water resistance. Recently the development of polymer dispersions for the production of latex paints, textured and spellings based on synthetic resins, was directed for various reasons, to the use of binders of medium hardness. The main reason for this is the request of coatings less sensitive to dirt, with greater connecting power for pigments and fillers, and good resistance to blockage. However, higher hardness of the binder presupposes, generally for polymers in aqueous dispersion, a higher temperature of film formation. Consequently, in order to ensure the application of products formulated based on these dispersions, of medium hardness polymers even at lower temperatures, it is necessary to use film-related auxiliaries. Thus, with this product one should use a filmogen agent suitable for each formulation, depending not only on the amount of binder of the latex paints, but also taking into account, the temperature and relative humidity of the air where it is paint will be applied. The amount of filmogen aid employed depends on the effectiveness of it, in the case of pigmented systems also of pigments and fillers.
For latex and textured inks produced with Fortcryl 6074, it is worth the empirical rule that the addition of filmogen auxiliary should be 8.0% to 10% on the resin solid in relation to the total revenue. In all formulations, however, it is advisable to check the minimum film formation temperature of the finished product, in order to be able to ensure their proper behavior in the application. The most important criterion for the choice of filmogen aid is its solvation power in the dispersion particles. It should also be considered, its influence on resistance to wet abrasion, viscosity, application, splash and leveling. The Fortcryl 6074 is fully compatible with our associative thickeners. For latex paint formulations, we recommend using Fortcryl 1940 and Fortcryl 1960. For development of latex paints the basis of our products, necessary supports and suggestion of formulas, adaptation of local raw materials, and application and evaluation process, please consult our technical department.
