Products

Advantages

• Very good weathering properties
• Good adhesion and flexibility on metal substrates
• Excellent adhesion to zinc (DEGALAN^® PM 559/ DEGALAN^® LP 65/12)

Coating Options:

Acrylic Polymers for Metal Coatings

Thick-Layer Coating
The polymers can be employed as the sole binder or in combination with other polymers. DEGALAN^® LP 64/12 (bead polymer) and DEGALAN^® PM 381 (bulk polymer) require the addition of plasticizers and additional resins to adjust the film hardness (LP 64/12 and PM 381 have the same chemical composition).

Coating of Non-Ferrous Metals
DEGALAN^® LP 65/12 and the internally plasticized solution polymers DEGALAN^®
PM 560 and PM 559 (excellent adhesion) are suitable for coating copper, bronze and brass. Additional external plasticization is required for the chemically identical products DEGALAN^® PM 709 (solution polymer), DEGALAN^® PM 381 and also DEGALAN^® LP 64/12.

DIY Coatings
DEGALAN^® LP 64/12, DEGALAN^® PM 381, DEGALAN^® PM 560 and PM 709 are recommended as all-round binders for this application. These coatings adhere well to metal and a variety of other substrates.

Zinc Substrates
The internally plasticized products DEGALAN^® PM 559 or DEGALAN^® LP 65/12 (requiring external plasticization) are employed for this difficult substrate. Such coatings still display excellent adhesion and elasticity even after seven years of outdoor exposure (results apply to DEGALAN^® PM 559).

Automotive Refinishing Paints
A combination of DEGALAN^® M 527 (bulk polymer) and DEGALAN^® MB 319 (bead polymer) is recommended for thermoplastic automotive refinishing paints. The flexibility of the films can be adjusted by varying the amount of soft acrylic resin (DEGALAN^® MB 319) added. These polymers can also be employed for aerosol application.
