Aldehyde Resin A81

Aldehyde resin KY-A81 is a kind of condensation from urea and aliphatic aldehydes, bright and resistant to yellowing. It shows excellent compatibility with many coating/printing raw materials. 

It is soluble in most organic solvents and has very good wetting and dispersion in the formulation of paints. 

It is a kind of marvelous multifunctional coating additive used to improve the adhesion, gloss, hardness, solid content, and fullness. It can also be used in universal pigment pastes. 

Application:

  • ‍Because of their excellent solubility and compatibility, KY-A81 can be used in many types of ink/coating formulations.
  • Depending on the application, KY-A81 improves the gloss, hardness, adhesion, and resistance to yellowing of coating.
  • Because of their good pigment wetting and very low solution viscosity, KY-A81 can be used for the manufacture of pigment pastes with high pigment content.
  • KY-A81 is very stable in heat and can be used for baking finishes, and it will not cause odor or discoloration.
  • Because of its relatively low solvent retention, it only leads to a slight increase of the drying time of physically drying finishes (e.g. cellulose and nitrate).‍
