Resin

Cardolite Ultra LITE 2020is a low viscosity, solvent-free multipurpose resin modifier designed for use in coatings, adhesives, and other applications. The long hydrophobic aliphatic side chain of the cardanol molecule gives this product a very low viscosity and provides excellent early water resistance and corrosion protection. Used as an epoxy diluent, high viscosity solvent or solvent free formulations can achieve enhanced workability and higher solids without sacrificing other performance properties using this product. This product also has the ability to react and be used in alkyds, urethanes, and acrylics. Cardolite UltraLITE 2020 was designed as a formulation tool to reduce VOC levels and viscosity of coating and adhesive systems. Although higher in viscosity than some other modifiers, the structure of this product gives excellent dilution efficiency to help rapidly reduce viscosity for improved pigment wetting, flexibility, and general application properties. Physical properties such as water resistance, corrosion protection, color stability, chemical resistance, and gloss are not significantly compromised with the addition of Ultra LITE 2020, and the product can be added in on either component side of multi-part formulations. ADVANTAGES • Lowers viscosity while maintaining performance • Preserves chemical and water resistance • Good dilution effect • Adds flexibility • Reduces high shear • Compatible and usable in a variety of coating chemistries•Improves pigment wetting • Reacts with urethanes, alkyds, and acrylic resin • Low volatility and high flash point • Non-toxic • Based from natural, renewable,non-food raw material feedstock

A water-borne, UV-curable, polycarbonate-based polyurethane dispersion. Suggested Uses: L-3685 is designed for UV-cured plastic topcoat applications where exterior weathering durability, abrasion-resistant and chemical-resistant films are required. Potential end-use applications include automotive plastics, kitchen cabinets and wood flooring. Characteristics:

• Excellent chemical- and stain-resistance
• Superior humidity resistance
• Forms durable, films under ambient or force-dried conditions
• APEO-free
• Fast water-release properties
• Contains n-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) co-solvent

A soft, halogen-free, flame retardant, aliphatic, polyurethane dispersion from Hauthaway. L-3192 was designed for use as a coating or finish for synthetic textile fabrics that must have permanent flame retardancy. This unique urethane dispersion is manufactured at high solids and without the use of solvent. Low add-on levels of L-3192 will enable synthetic fabrics to pass various FR tests including NFPA-701 and MVSS-302. L-3192 is well suited for use in textile coatings, such as automotive upholstery, that require outstanding strength and flame retardancy. Using L-3192, a coating can be formulated to pass MVSS-302 and maintain required strength properties at a much lower coating weight than conventional coatings. This results in a much softer hand and possible cost savings. CHARACTERISTICS:

• Permanent, non-leaching flame retardancy
• Halogen-free
• Excellent cost/performance ratio
• Soft, tough, flexible, dry film
• Excellent low temperature flex crack resistance
• Contains n-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP)

An anionic, aliphatic, aqueous polyurethane dispersion with a low activation temperature from Hauthaway. L-2245 is an adhesive grade polyurethane suggested for industrial laminating applications where a pre-lamination coating is applied to a substrate and then dried. Ideal for bonding plasticized vinyl sheet to itself and to other substrates such as rubber, wood, cardboard and textiles.   CHARACTERISTICS:

• May be crosslinked for improved adhesion and heat-resistance.
• Non-crystalline nature
• Low level of n-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) co-solvent (~2%)

 

An aliphatic, co-solvent free, polyether-based, aqueous polyurethane dispersion from Hauthaway. L-2641 was designed for leather basecoat applications where plate-release and print retention are important. CHARACTERISTICS

• Contains no co-solvent
• Produces soft, tough films
• Good water and solvent-resistance for a soft polymer Dries to clear, glossy film
• Dilution and cleanup with water

An aliphatic, APEO-free, co-solvent free, polyether-based, polyurethane dispersion from Hauthaway. L-3037 was designed for base coats or intermediate coats intended for plating/embossing. Films based on this polymer exhibit excellent print retention properties. CHARACTERISTICS

• Excellent print retention properties
• Contains no co-solvent
• Produces soft, tough films
• Good water and solvent-resistance for a soft polymer Dries to clear, glossy film

A very soft, co-solvent free, aliphatic, polyester polyurethane dispersion from Hauthaway. L-3614 was designed for use in applications that require an ultra-soft hand coupled with good strength, abrasion resistance, and excellent resiliency. It may be used as a blending resin with the harder L-3615 to impart increased toughness. A balanced composition provides good stability with acrylics and confers superior strength, abrasion resistance and low temperature flexibility properties.   CHARACTERISTICS

• Co-solvent free, TEA free, Tin free, APEO free
• Ultra soft, tough, dry film
• Very good abrasion and UV resistance
• Exceptional low temperature flexibility and crack resistance
