PARALOID™ B-99N 100%

PARALOID™ B-99N 100% Resin is unique in its compatibility with short and medium oil alkyds. Blended with alkyds, it improves the drying speed, gasoline resistance, and durability characteristics of the alkyds. It also demonstrates excellent pigment dispersing properties and significantly upgrades the gloss of other acrylic resins and film formers when used as the grinding medium.

Note

Drying the coatings at 300°F for 30 minutes simulates final propertes of the resin.

  1. The white lacquers were formulated at a titanium dioxide/binder ratio (solids basis) of 30/70. The properties were determined after coatings were sprayed on Bonderite 1000 solution.
  2. The degree of flaking at the scribed cross hatch is rated on a 0 (no failure) to 5 (complete lift off) scale.
  3. The degree of cracking at the bend over each mandrel is rated on a 0 (no failure) to 10 (complete flaking) scale.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • Keep combustible and/or flammable products and their vapors away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition including static discharge.
  • Processing or operating at temperatures near or above product flashpoint may pose a fire hazard.
  • Use appropriate grounding and bonding techniques to manage static discharge hazards.
  • Failure to maintain proper volume level when using immersion heaters can expose tank and solution to excessive heat resulting in a possible combustion hazard, particularly when plastic tanks are used.
  • Store products in tightly closed original containers at temperatures recommended on the product label.
