Outdoor matting agent based on durable acrylic resin T-308
1.Description
T-308 is a glycidyl containing solid acrylic resin designed for applying in low acid value statured carboxyl polyester powder coatings system as hardener using compatibility difference to achieve matt gloss. T-308 can produce 1-20% of low gloss exterior durable powder coatings with good coverage, excellent weatherability, anti-corrosive, heat resistance and anti-yellowing properties. Compared with the competitive products, T-308 can provide good cost, good flow, anti-scratch, good impact resistant and excellent gloss stability.

4.Characteristics
①T-308 and TGIC both can be used as curing agent with carboxyl polyester.
1.1 T-308 to polyester ratio is 70/30 when use polyester with acid value around 30-35 mgKOH/g.
1.2 T-308 to polyester ratio is 75/25 when use polyester with acid value around 20-25 mgKOH/g.
Normally select lower acid value polyester to get cost reduction and more smoothness film appearance
②HAA curing agent,T-318, usually is used to adjust the gloss of finish. In mass production, we always fix the usage of pure polyester, T-550 and catalyst T-62, and only control gloss by T-318 or TGIC.
③Using 0.05~0.2% T-62 in formulations above can make film mechanical performance better, gloss lower and stable, with reduced cost. But when use too much, levelling would be affected.
④When you produce powder coating with gloss 10 degree higher, necessary pay attention to : ①baking schedule should be the same between powder manufacture and end-user ②production process should be fixed ③ 1-2% T-302B could be used to improve of gloss stability, anti-scratch resistance and smoothness on the surface.
