SUGGESTED USES PROCESSING

Viacryl SC 454 is an ideal binder for clear and pigmented exterior paints for
cans, creme jars, twist-off lids and crown corks.
Recommended stoving schedule: 20 minutes / 160 °C to 10 minutes / 200
°C. The cured films show excellent adhesion to steel, aluminium, tin plate,
excellent hardness, flexibility and full deep drawing. Pasteurizing is also
excellent. Hardness, particularly surface hardness can be enhanced
through coemployment of low molecular weight epoxy resins, like
Beckopox EP 301, or of benzoguanamine resins without adversely
influencing the mechanical properties. Additions may range around 10 %
solids of Viacryl SC 454 solids.
Viacryl SC 454 is dissolved with high boiling aromatic solvents and thus
excellently suited for roller coating application, mostly used in the coating
of containers and twist-off lids. With further dilution with low boiling
aromatic solvents, esters, glycol ethers or mixtures thereof, the paints can
be used for spray application.
Pigmentation
Viacryl SC 454 exhibits superior pigment binding capacity. Thus, highly
pigmented container enamels yield high gloss films with excellent hiding in
a film thickness of from 10 - 20 µm. Any pigment suitable for stoving paints
can be used.
Viacryl SC 454 can be stored as well as resin or as pigmented paint and is in
this respect superior to conventional systems of alkyd-amino resins.
x

STORAGE
At temperatures up to 25 °C storage stability packed in original containers
amounts to at least 365 days.
x

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
Viacryl SC 454, in application, can be compared favourably to Viacryl SC
424 with the essential advantage of extreme deep drawing properties
which are neither reduced in two coat systems pigmented base/clear top,
nor on overstoving. Viacryl SC 454 is therefore the binder of choice for
metal coatings which are subjected to extreme deformation. Viacryl SC 454
is not as reactive as Viacryl SC 424.
