Because of its good flexibility, water resistance and good pigment binding power,
Polyfam® PR656 is particularly suitable for the formulation of resin bound plasters, crack-
bridging systems, façade reinforcement systems, and especially flexible roof coatings for
sealing purposes.
Processing
Polyfam® PR656 dries above 0°C to form an almost clear and crack-free film with good
flexibility and water resistance.
The usual titanium dioxide and coloured pigments, as well as fillers and texturing grains
may be used for the formulation of paints and resin-bound plasters. To ensure an adequate
storage stability, long term storage trials are recommended at any rate, especially when
fillers and coloured pigments with a large specific surface area are chosen. In addition to
the widespread used polyphosphates, the salts of low molecular weight polyacrylic acids
(e.g. Polyfam® 101) working as a dispersing agent, should also be used to achieve further
stability. Depending on the pigments and extenders, the required quantity is in the range of
0.1 and 0.4 % active substance relative to the pigment / extender mixture.
When formulating highly flexible coatings with a relatively low pigment content, the
pigments, fillers and additives can be dispersed directly into Polyfam® PR656 without
adding water.
Many thickeners are usable to adjust the desired viscosity of the coating and to improve its
processability. Very good results are achieved by employing Tylose® grades of the H and
MH series with retarded swelling behavior and medium to high molecular weight, but not for
flexible coatings for exterior use, because these thickeners tend to lower the good water
resistance of the polymer film. In such cases, acrylic thickeners (e.g. Polyfam® 103) or
associative PU thickeners work well alone or in combination.
Silicate systems should exclusively be formulated with Hydroxy ethyl cellulosics (Tylose® H
grades).
In spite of the low MFFT of Polyfam ® PR656, the addition of small amounts of solvents to
any flexible coating systems is of advantageous to improve the processability. Addition of
solvents must be done with due care.
A lot of commercially available defoamers can be included, in order to prevent excessive
foaming in the paints. Trials must be carried out to determine the most suitable grades and
the correct concentration.
Preservation and Storage
To prevent attack by microorganisms, the preservatives normally used for polymer
dispersions, should be added despite our preliminary preservation measures. Checks
should be carried out to determine their compatibility and efficacy.
Polyfam® PR656 should not be stored for longer than 6 months before processing. As far
as possible, storage should be at a uniform temperature in the region of 5-25 °C. The
product should, in principle, be kept away from frost.
The technical data ascertained by our quality control laboratory at the time of product
release may vary according to the storage time and storage conditions and may deviate
from the stated limits.
Industry Safety and Environmental Protection
Not a hazardous substance.
