A white pigment that provides brightness, opacity, and UV protection in paints and coatings.
Forms a durable, glossy film in paints and adhesives, offering excellent weather resistance and clarity.
Provides strong adhesion, chemical resistance, and high durability in industrial coatings and adhesives.
Used for flexible, long-lasting coatings and sealants; offers abrasion and impact resistance.
Acts as a solvent to dissolve paint ingredients and ensure smooth, uniform application.
Used as an extender and filler in paints and coatings to improve texture, opacity, and cost-efficiency.
A key adhesive polymer used in glues, emulsions, and coatings for strong bonding and smooth film formation.
This category features alkyd resins with a high oil content (64-65%), which makes them flexible and slow-drying, ideal for brush-applied coatings. Products: ASP 101, ASP 102, ASP 103, ASP 104, ASP 105. Key Characteristics: High oil length (64-65%), uses Linseed Oil or Semi-drying Oil with Pentaerythritol, acid value ≤10, and viscosity measured in Ford Cup seconds (60-130 secs). Primary Applications: Superior quality enamels, printing inks, non-yellowing white paints, roller coatings, and insulating varnishes.
These resins have a moderate oil content (45-52%), offering a balance of drying speed and film flexibility. Products: ASP 111, ASP 112, ASP 113. Key Characteristics: Medium oil length (45-52%), uses Linseed Oil or Semi-drying Oil, acid value ≤20. Viscosity is measured in Stokes for some and Ford Cup for others. Primary Applications: Primers, undercoats, furniture and toy enamels, and corrosion-resistant auto primers.
Characterized by low oil content (30-40%), these resins are faster-drying and often require heat (stoving) to cure, resulting in hard, durable films. Products: ASP 121, ASP 122. Key Characteristics: Low oil length (30-40%), uses DCO Oil or Coconut Oil, dissolved in Xylene, acid value ≤30. Viscosity is measured in Stokes. Primary Applications: Stoving enamels for appliances (refrigerators, washing machines), NC Lacquer, and white stoving finishes.
These are alkyd resins modified with rosin, which typically improves drying time, hardness, and gloss, often at a lower cost. Products: ASP 131, ASP 132. Key Characteristics: Oil length of 40-46%, uses DCO or Linseed Oil with Penta, higher acid value (25-30 MAX). Viscosity is given in Ford Cup seconds. Primary Applications: Low-cost air-drying paints, primers, and industrial stoving finishes.
This category includes alkyd resins that have been chemically altered with other materials (e.g., acrylic, different polyols) to enhance specific properties like drying speed.
Specialized mediums formulated to be mixed with aluminium pigment to create hammer-finish or metallic paints. Products:span> ASP 501, ASP 502. Key Characteristics:span> Oil length is not specified. ASP 501 is a high-solid (65%) medium for creating the paint, while ASP 502 is a ready-made, lower-viscosity medium. Primary Applications: Aluminium paints for quick drying, high gloss, hammer finish, and leafing aluminium space.
These are resins derived from maleic anhydride, known for their light color and used in high-quality varnishes and lacquers. Products: ASP 201, ASP 202. Key Characteristics: Defined by melting point (Ball & Ring and Capillary methods) and acid value. Viscosity is measured in specific solutions (e.g., 60% in Toluene). Primary Applications: Varnishes, paints, and NC lacquers.
Resins made by modifying phenolic resins with rosin, offering good durability, water resistance, and solvent release. Products: ASP 212, ASP 213. Key Characteristics:span> Defined by melting point and acid value. Viscosity is given in seconds for a 50% Toluene solution. Primary Applications: Paints, printing inks (especially liquid inks with good scratch resistance), and insulating varnishes.
Amino resins used primarily as cross-linkers (hardeners) in stoving enamels. They react with alkyds to create hard, durable, and glossy thermoset films. Products: ASP 401, ASP 402, ASP 403, ASP 404. Key Characteristics: Very light color (1 MAX), varying viscosity and solid content (60-80%), very low acid value, and low free formaldehyde. Their reactivity and solvent tolerance (MT/Xylene) are key differentiators. Primary Applications: Curing agents for short oil alkyds and acrylics in stoving finishes for appliances, roller coatings, and enamels, imparting hardness, gloss, and mar-proofness.
