Outdoor matting agent based on durable acrylic resin T-550
1.Description
T-550 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-550 reactivity and matting performance are both superior than similar products in market, and is more suitable for exterior matting finish. It has the following characteristics:1. Excellent matting performance with reduced usage, normally only 80% dosage of similar products is enough;2, good mechanical performance;3, more steady gloss, hardly affected by production process and spraying conditions.

4.Characteristics
①Polyester to T-550 ratio is 75/25, when use polyester with acid value between 30-35 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.
