resistance, paint films based on Viacryl SC 303 have very good stability to heat
and to UV radiation. This is impressively evident in the case of top coats in
two-coat metallic paints which, after prolonged outdoor exposure in Florida,
show neither discolouration, cracking nor gloss impairment.
STORAGE
At temperatures up to 25 °C storage stability packed in original containers
amounts to at least 730 days.
PROCESSING
As a thermosetting cross-linking acrylic resin Viacryl SC 303/65XB must be
combined with amino resins. In the stoving temperature range of 120 - 150
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
°C, reactive melamine resins such as Maprenal MF 590 and Maprenal MF 650 Compared to Viacryl SC 341 and Viacryl SC 370, Viacryl SC 303 is compatible
are used as reaction partners. with cellulose acetobutyrates, and therefore particularly suitable for the
formulation of basecoats.
In special cases it may be advantageous to combine the resin with the less
reactive hexamethoxymethylmelamine resins, e. g. Maprenal MF 900. The
most suitable combination ratios are 70 to 85 parts acrylic resin and 15 to 30
parts melamine resin, calculated on solids. With acid catalysts, such as maleic
acid or p-toluene sulphonic acid, cross-linking takes place already at stoving
temperatures as low as 90 °C. The addition of cellulose acetobutyrate speeds
up physical drying.
