1 PRIMAL WL-81 Emulsion For Industrial Lacquers Regional Product Availability Description Asia-Pacific PRIMAL WL-81 Emulsion is specifically designed for the formulation of clear and pigmented ambient or forced-air-dry industrial lacquers. Coating systems based on this polymer are suitable for use on a variety of substrates and offer a number of key benefits currently provided by solvent-borne industrial lacquers, but without the flammability, odor, or other problems inherent with such systems.

If viscoity is too high, adjust down with water. Guidelines for General Industrial Formulating Characteristics Which Affect Formulating Approach 1. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is the most efficient coalescent. 2. PRIMAL WL-81 Emulsion is hard (Tukon Hardness 12.0 KHN). For air-dry formulations some slow coalescent (e.g., 5-15% diethylene glycol monobutyl ether on latex nonvolatiles) is required for good film formation. 3. Coalescents affect the thickening response of PRIMAL WL-81 Emulsion. We recommend checking the coalescent system in a clear formulation. This ph / viscosity profile will help to identify pigment interactions in a finished formulation. 4. Paraplex WP-1 plasticizer is an excllent choice of plasticizer. 1. Ammonia or organic amines should always be added as final components and always added to systems of relatively low viscosity. 2. Add ammonia and amines, preferably diluted with water, slowly and with good agitation. 3. If amine neutralization does not thicken a formulation adequately, minor increases in cosolvents, which swell the particle, can be added. Slurry ph is important since electrolytes can affect emulsion stability. 1. Inorganic Prime Pigments: Iron Oxide, Chromates, Molybdates. Any of these pigments can contribute ionic species to a latex formulation. Stability problems encountered with yellows (lead chromates) in formulations based on PRIMAL WL-81 Emulsion can be overcome with stabilizing surfactants.

8 Reactive Pigments Extenders 2. Organic Toner Pigments: Phthalos, Indanthrones, Quinacridones, Hansas, Toluidine. Selection is very important. Resinated types used in alkyd manufacture are not necessarily best for emulsions. Solubility in coalescents is important and solubility of metal salt types is important in high ph systems. Predispersed tints introduce dispersants, surfactants, and solvents which may affect performance. Phthalo and Hansas types work with ethylene glycol monobutyl ether/diethylene glycol monobutyl ether. However, two types of toluidine pigments used in the same system appeared to have a "bloom" effect. PRIMAL WL-81 Emulsion requires stabilization toward high concentrations of divalent ions. Whenever pigments such as chromates, borates, etc., are being used in a formulation, surfactants should be included to eliminate emulsion stability problems. A surfactant recommended for use with PRIMAL WL-81 Emulsion is TRITON X-405 Surfactant: Usually cut to 35% nonvolatile with water before addition to the paint formulation. 1. Slurry ph is important. 2. Calcium and barium ions can lead to stability problems. High PVC formulations will require a stabilizing surfactant. 3. Examples of useful extenders are: (a) Fine-particle sized, low oil absorption pigments such as calcium carbonate or barytes are useful in dip and flow applications. (b) Talc extender with Busan 11-M1 corrosion-inhibiting pigment is effective in promoting high-film build in spray applications. (c) Flatting Paste: Water Diluent TRITON X-100 Surfactant 2.0 Patcote 519 Defoamer 9.0 Syloid 161 Amorphous silica Total Pigment Levels Dispersants 1. Gloss: Use minimum pigment consistent with required hiding, e.g., TiO 2 systems require PVC for microns. 2. Two-Coat Systems: Obtain hiding and holdout with the primer and use minimum pigment levels in the topcoat. Improvement in salt spray and humidity resistance is also obtained in formulations based on PRIMAL WL-81 Emulsion by removing the TRITON CF-10 Surfactant and eliminating the ammonium benzoate from the topcoat formulation. 1. We suggest low-acid-type dispersants such as OROTAN 165A Dispersant along with a surfactant for pigment wetting (e.g., TRITON CF-10 Surfactant, lgepal CTA-639 surfactant). 2. Levels: 1-5 g wetting aid / litre; g dispersant / litre. Note: In many formulations we recommend use of the cosolvent as a wetting aid for pigment. This is critical for difficult-to-wet pigments (e.g., blacks and organic types) and for some inorganics with small particle size and high oil adsorption.

9 Flash and Early Rust Prevention 3. Whenwater-soluble resins are used as dispersants (such as Arolon 557 dispersant), be aware that the coalescent demand of the latex can cause insolubility and possible flocculation of the water-soluble resin, when the resin is 11% or more of binder solids. 4. Dispersion: For high-speed dispersers and sand mills, dispersant levels should be near the flow point to eliminate dilatent conditions. 5. We suggest unmodified-type pigments for formulating (i.e., no resinated or solvent-type floc-resistant pigments). We suggest pebble or ball mill for difficult-to-disperse pigments. Sand mills and highspeed Cowles dispersers are satisfactory for TiO 2 and many other pigments. 1. The use of ammonia or a slow amine to adjust ph to a minimum of 8.1 is a very effective approach. The type and level of slow amine, if used, should be carefully determined to avoid decreasing the water resistance of the system. 2. Additives such as ammonium benzoate, sodium nitrate, etc., can be added to the system. for an ammonium benzoate solution: Water Diluent Benzoic acid Mix until dissolved, then add: Aqueous ammonia (28%) ph control ph of the solution should 8.5 Total Page 9 of 10 PRIMAL WL-81 Emulsion / Dow Coating Materials 03/2015.
