BECKOCURE EH 2260W/41WA is an hydrophobic amine hardener especially for the formulation of waterborne metal coatings, free of volatile basic amines and solvents. In combination with epoxy dispersions fast drying Primers and Monocoats with excellent corrosion protection and very good non-sagging properties can be formulated. The product shows excellent application behaviour and a very robust performance even on poorly prepared surfaces. Beckocure EH 2260w is used together with solid epoxy resin dispersions or emulsified liquid resins. Best results are obtained using 50 - 75 % of the stoichiometric amount of hardener. The films cure rapidly at room temperature but can also be dried at elevated temperatures. Grinding of the pigments can be done in Beckocure EH 2260w or as well in shear stable epoxy dispersions (e. g.: Beckopox EP 2384w, Beckopox EP 386, Beckopox EP 387 or Beckopox VEP 2381w). The mill base temperature should not exceed 40 °C. The use of binder-free pigment pastes is recommended when the grinding temperature cannot be controlled. Dilution can be done with Beckocure EH 2260w or an epoxy dispersion.

SETALUX FC 1923 BA-75 provides VOC compliant (< 420 g/l) coatings with very fast drying at ambient temperatures, high build and gloss, good hardness build-up, good mechanical properties and good outdoor durability. It is used as two-component clearcoats and solid colour topcoats for vehicle refinish. Two-component industrial topcoats.

SETAQUA 6160 is an acrylic polyol emulsion is developed for waterborne solid colour topcoat (1 coat - 1 bake) and is used in combination with partly methylated melamine resins. SETAQUA 6160 gives high gloss coatings having excellent chemical resistance and durability. It is used as waterborne solid colour topcoat.

SETALUX DA 160 SN LC is primarily applied in combination with Desmodur N, in the formulation of twocomponent polyurethane coatings with good lightfastness and resistance to chalking. SETALUX DA 160 SN LC is used primarily in combination with Desmodur N 75 or N 3390 to formulate air- and force-drying top coats as well as anticorrosion coatings and top coats for steel in civil and hydraulic engineering applications. The coatings can be applied by brushing, rolling and airless spraying. They have good weather stability and resistance to water, washing solutions and chemicals. They are stable up to approx. 150 °C. However, yellowing may occur at this temperature.
