ETERKYD 3243-X-70
Short Resin And Phenolic Modified Alkyd
ETERNAL CHEMICAL CO., LTD.

Vehicle for Lift-Resistant Fast-Dry Primers

Description :
ETERKYD 3243-X-70 is a short resin and phenolic modified oxidizing alkyd solution
available in xylol or in "exempt" solvents conforming to air pollution requirements.

Performance :
Offers lift resistance that is unique for an alkyd when topcoated with nitrocellulose
lacquer or paints containing strong solvents.
Has very fast dry (set to touch in 10 minutes ).
Exhibits unusually good adhesion. even on hard-to-coat substrates such as zinc die
castings , plastics , or fiberglass.
Produce hard , tough , corrosin-resistant coatings.

Suggested Uses :
Life-resistant primers and surfacers for lacquer systyms and fast-drying industrial
enamels (air dry or bake ).
Fast-drying enamels.
Combined with chlorinated rubber for fast-drying finishes with unusual chemical
resistance.

Note : Small amounts of amine such as 2-amino-2-methyl-1 propanol can be used

to improve viscosity stability ; however resistance to hydrocarbon and
water should be rechecked in this event.
