SYNOLAC^® 6883

SYNOLAC® 6883 is a long oil isophthalic acid based alkyd. Its very good pigment wetting properties make it suitable for use as a grinding medium and as an additive to improve the build of alkyd enamels. It can be used as a co-binder for decorative gloss paints and varnishes to improve build and extend the open time of the coating. The isophthalic backbone gives added water and saponification resistance. SYNOLAC® 6883 can be used in combination with high solid long oil alkyds in matt and satin- finish paints in order to improve the open time, build and in particular to enhance the flexibility of the film, thus avoiding the problems of cracking and peeling upon ageing.
