On the product

What gives Piroplast-2K 30-60 in the industrial formulation

The grade is considered where colour is no longer the main limitation, and the processability, compatibility and properties of the finished material come to the fore.

Resin for coatings, rubber and bitumen

Piroplast-2K 30–60 is used in film-forming systems, bitumen and polymer compounds, rubber processing and binder formulations. Performance depends on the base resins, solvent, process temperature and dosage, so grades must be compared in the actual formulation.

  • compare the product with the current raw material and its documentation;
  • Verify solubility and compatibility in a particular system.
  • Evaluate colour, adhesion and processing behaviour;
  • Set the acceptance criteria before switching to an industrial batch.

Applications

For what production tasks is the product suitable

The product is intended for manufacturers that can prepare and test formulations in their own laboratory and production process.

01 · Coatings

Coatings and drying oils

The resin is evaluated in the film-forming part of industrial coatings, where a Gardner range of 8–11 is acceptable and the goal is to adjust the cost and performance of the binder.

Test: solubility, colour, viscosity, drying, adhesion, gloss and hardness.
02 · Bitumen

Modification of bitumen compositions

The product is considered for formulations of mastics, coatings and other bitumen-containing systems, where compatibility with bitumen and behavior at operating temperature are important.

In the test: addition, homogeneity, heat resistance, adhesion and storage stability.
03 · rubber products

Rubber mixtures and compounds

In enterprises with in-house mixing, the grade is qualified as a process resin or modifier, without transferring the dosage from another formulation automatically.

In the test: dispersion, stickiness, processing and properties of vulcanizate.
04 Paint and casting

Printed and foundry binders

Piroplast-2K 30-60 may be a candidate for non-food printing inks and foundry formulations if the colour and characteristic odor of the raw materials are acceptable.

In the test: compatibility, fixation or formability, odour and quality of the finished product.

Selection

Data required before requesting a sample

The designation 30-60 sets the colour range on the iodine scale, but for the production test this is not enough: you need to agree on the softening window and the limitation of the formulation.

Specification

Technical characteristics of Piroplast-2K 30–60

Requirements for the grade are agreed in the specification. The documentation contains the results of the control; they must be compared under the same methods and conditions of measurement.

Qualification

How to qualify resin without risk for the main formulation

First, documents and laboratory samples are compared, then the results are confirmed on a production scale.

01

Secure control.

Keep the current formulation, raw materials and measurable criteria for a successful test.

02

Check the CoA

Compare the colour, softening, acid and iodine numbers of the proposed batch.

03

Check in the lab.

Evaluate the solubility, compatibility, process and properties of the finished system.

04

Scale up

After a successful test, run pilot production and establish incoming inspection.

Boundaries of application

Restrictions on colour and use

  • For transparent and very light decorative coatings with a strict colour restriction.
  • For food contact, lamination and tasks with critical odor requirements without a separate qualification.
  • When replacing the resin, check the solubility, working dosage and properties of the finished material.
  • If the basic components of the formulation are unknown and it is not possible to verify compatibility before purchase.

FAQ

Selection, testing and supply issues

Characteristics, tests and conditions of order.

Why use Piroplast-2K 30-60?

The grade is considered for industrial coatings, bitumen compositions, rubber compounds, non-food printing inks and foundry binders. Applicability is confirmed in a specific formulation.

What colour is resin?

The catalogue range is 30-60 on the iodine scale and 8-11 on Gardner. The actual value is indicated in the documentation for a particular batch.

How to choose the softening point?

Send the value of the resin used, the operating temperature of the process and the required properties. The available product is selected within the general range of 75-145 °C and confirmed with the batch documentation.

Can the current resin be replaced immediately?

No. Even with close documented properties, laboratory comparison and pilot-scale verification of compatibility, dosage and properties are necessary.

Is the product suitable for light enamel?

Only if the Gardner range is 8–11 for a particular colour. For light and transparent systems, this grade is usually not the first candidate.

What should I specify to calculate delivery?

Communicate the task, the comparison product, the required metrics, the volume and the region. After technical qualification, the documentation, sample, packaging, term and price are agreed.
