Q1: What is the primary function of ROSKYDAL K 36 in coating formulations?
A: ROSKYDAL K 36 is a low-viscosity, high-solids unsaturated polyester resin designed primarily as a reactive diluent and viscosity modifier in UV-curable and radiation-curable coatings. It contributes to improved film formation, enhanced crosslink density, and reduced shrinkage during cure.
Q2: Is ROSKYDAL K 36 compatible with common photoinitiator systems?
A: Yes, ROSKYDAL K 36 exhibits good compatibility with standard Type I (cleavage) and Type II (hydrogen-abstraction) photoinitiators used in UV-curable systems, including benzophenone derivatives and alpha-hydroxy ketones. Compatibility should always be verified in the final formulation due to potential interactions with other components.
Q3: How does ROSKYDAL K 36 influence cure speed and final film properties?
A: Due to its high reactivity and low viscosity, ROSKYDAL K 36 generally supports faster surface cure and deeper through-cure in UV systems. It enhances hardness, chemical resistance, and gloss retention in the cured film, while maintaining flexibility depending on overall formulation balance.
Q4: Can ROSKYDAL K 36 be used in solvent-borne or high-solids thermally cured systems?
A: While optimized for UV and EB curing, ROSKYDAL K 36 may be incorporated into high-solids thermally cured polyester-acrylic hybrid systems where low volatility and controlled reactivity are beneficial. However, thermal cure performance requires careful optimization of catalysts and bake profiles, and full compatibility must be confirmed experimentally.
