On the product

When the liquid grade is useful

It is chosen not as an automatic analogue of a solid resin, but as a separate component with its own influence on the viscosity, addition and properties of the system.

Liquid resin for dosing and mixing

Low molecular weight Piroplast-2K can simplify dosing in processes designed for liquid components, and is used to adjust the film-forming or technological part of the composition. But the liquid form does not negate testing for chemical compatibility, odor, colour and storage behavior.

  • clarify the function of the liquid component in the formulation;
  • check the colour and documentation for a particular batch;
  • check the viscosity, addition and stability of storage;
  • Do not carry over the solid-resin dosage without recalculation and testing.

Applications

For what production tasks is the product suitable

The product is addressed to production with in-house mixing and control of the formulation. For each matrix, the set of criteria differs.

01 · Coatings

Coloured coatings

Liquid resin is evaluated as a component of the film-forming system, if its colour is acceptable, and the process setup supports this addition method.

Test: compatibility, viscosity, colour, drying, gloss and storage stability.
02 Paints

Non-food printing inks

The product can be included in the selection of a binder or modifier for printing ink with a known solvent system and acceptable odor.

In the test: solubility, rheology, fixation, wash-off resistance, colour and odour.
03 · rubber products and bitumen

Liquid additive in dark compositions

The grade is tested in rubber and bitumen systems where liquid dosing suits the plant equipment and process.

In the test: mixing, homogeneity, stickiness or adhesion, heat resistance and storage.
04 Cast

Binding and modifying compositions

In foundry practice, the product may be a candidate for modifying the current system after testing with the resins, fillers and curing mode used.

In the test: formability, strength, gas production according to the buyer's method and quality of casting.

Selection

Data needed for liquid resin

The main question is not only the colour, but also the function of the product in the material balance and rheology of the formulation.

Liquid low molecular weight resin and solid resin solution are different forms of raw materials. The composition, viscosity and measurement method should be specified in the technical documentation of the product.

Qualification

How to test liquid resin in four steps

Qualification must cover addition, the fresh system, storage and the finished material.

01

Required function

Decide which component is being replaced or which property needs to be changed.

02

Prepare controls

Leave the basic formulation unchanged and determine several test dosages.

03

Check the process

Compare dosing, mixing, viscosity, uniformity and the processing window.

04

Evaluate the result

Check the storage and properties of the finished coating, mixture or product.

Boundaries of application

When the liquid grade is unsuitable

  • If the technological line is designed only for solid raw materials and liquid dosing is not provided.
  • For transparent or very light materials where the Gardner range of 8-15 is not acceptable.
  • For systems with strict odor requirements without testing the finished material.
  • If the solid resin is expected to be replaced at the same dosage without adjusting the material balance.

FAQ

Selection, testing and supply issues

Characteristics, tests and conditions of order.

How does low molecular weight Piroplast-2K resins differ from solid grades?

It comes in liquid form. For comparison with solid grades need viscosity, composition and proportion of non-volatile substances. The liquid form itself does not mean that the resin is dissolved in the solvent.

What colour is the product?

The catalogue range is 60-130 on the iodine scale and 8-15 on Gardner. The actual colour is indicated on the certificate of analysis.

Where do you use liquid resin?

It is considered in coloured paints, non-food printing inks, rubber and bitumen compositions, as well as foundry binders - after checking in a real formulation.

Should the product be heated?

The addition procedure depends on the viscosity of the lot, equipment and other components. Without the data of your technology, a universal temperature cannot be set.

Is it possible to replace solid resin?

Only after recalculating the formulation and testing. The same weight of liquid and solid product does not mean the same effect.

What data is required for the request?

Specify product function, matrix, current raw materials, colour and viscosity requirements, volume and region of delivery.
