Coatings & Inks Selection Guide
 

In coatings applications InChemRez® Phenoxy resins, polyester modified Phenoxy resins, epoxy/Phenoxy hybrid resins, and InChemRez® caprolactone modified resins offer a wide selection for your chosen technology. Phenoxy resins find use in can and container coatings, drum linings, zinc-rich coatings and maintenance primers, shop primers, glass and plastic coatings, wood coatings, and coatings for flexible substrates including PET, metal foils, paper and cloth. Water-borne grades of Phenoxy permit formulations to low VOC’s and select solid grade Phenoxy resins are useful in thermoplastic and thermoset powder coatings.

InChemRez® Phenoxy resins can be used as the sole resin vehicle in coatings formulations. For crosslinked systems using the pendant secondary hydroxyls on the Phenoxy backbone it is recommended to empirically determine the best level of crosslinker for a balance of coatings properties such as hardness and flexibility. Usually the level of crosslinker or hardener is about 10 to 15 phr (parts per hundred) on a solids basis. Typical crosslinkers used in thermoset applications are melamine-formaldehyde resins, phenolics, blocked isocyanates, and polycarboxylic acids.
