KP-4060 is usually cross linked with HMM Melamine resins. The addition of HMMM is usually between 15 – 30% on solid basis. Incorporation of acid catalyst e.g. Para toluene sulphonic acid promotes the curing. 1% to 5% of acid catalyst on Melamine solids is recommended.

The product has excellent pigment wetting properties and high yield pigment concentrates can be formulated.

CURING SCHEDULES :

Coil Coating finishes based on KP-4060 can be cured using a peak metal temperature of 232°C - 240°C. For Metal Decorating, a cure schedule of 10 minutes at 160 -200°C depending on requirements is recommended; cure response will increase with temperature, but flexibility may be reduced with high levels of catalyst. For General Industrial applications a baking schedule of 30 minutes at 150°C will be suitable. Metal Decorating: 72 : 18 : 10 KP-4060 Curing of
10 minutes at 160 - 200 is recommended. Aromatic
hydrocarbons are recommended.

General Industrial enamels: 70 : 30 to 80 : 20 on
solids with hexamethoxymethyl melamine resin or
partly methylated melamine with 2% PTSA catalyst
on amino levels. Baking of 30 minutes at 150 C is
recommended. Blend of aromatic hydrocarbon/
alcohol are suggested

STORAGE :

Keep away from heat source & direct sunlight. Avoid temp.more than 30 degree C.
