Bluesil™ RES 6482X

Bluesil™ RES 6482X is a reactive silicone resin which was developed for use in the manufacture of decorative medium temperature paints. Currently this resin is mainly used for the manufacture of air drying, temperature resistant silicone alkyd paints. It is also more compatible than other silicones with urea-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde, epoxy, polyurethane and acrylic resins. Another use is as an additive for epoxy paints. It also improves weathering resistance.

Dosage Information
  • Bluesil™ RES 6482X can be used simply by mixing, cold, with alkyd resins (mainly coconut oil, dessicated castor oil and linseed oil-based) for the manufacture of industrial paints. As a general rule, a Bluesil™ RES 6482X content of 20 to 30% is used, but this figure may be as high 75 %, of the total binders. As an additive, the quantity used is between 1 and 5 % of the paint. The Bluesil™ RES 6482X is recommended in alkyd paints to improve the weatherability, drying time and hardness.
