Allnex SETAL 690 Alkyd Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for SETAL 690?

A: SETAL 690 is a medium-oil alkyd resin specifically designed for high-performance industrial maintenance and protective coatings, including metal primers, topcoats, and general-purpose enamels where good gloss retention, flexibility, and weather resistance are required.


Q2: Is SETAL 690 suitable for water-reducible systems?

A: Yes — SETAL 690 is formulated to be compatible with water-reducible alkyd technologies and can be used in solvent-borne or water-reducible hybrid systems, often requiring appropriate emulsifiers or co-solvents to achieve stable dispersion.


Q3: How does SETAL 690 compare to long-oil alkyds in terms of drying and film hardness?

A: As a medium-oil alkyd, SETAL 690 offers a balanced profile: faster through-dry and higher initial hardness than long-oil variants, while retaining better flexibility and compatibility with reactive diluents or crosslinkers than short-oil resins.


Q4: Can SETAL 690 be modified or crosslinked with other resins?

A: Yes — SETAL 690 exhibits good compatibility with amino resins (e.g., melamine-formaldehyde), isocyanates, and polyisocyanate crosslinkers, enabling thermosetting formulations with enhanced chemical resistance and mechanical performance.


Q5: What solvents are typically recommended for dissolving or diluting SETAL 690?

A: SETAL 690 dissolves readily in common aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents such as xylene, Solvesso™ 100, and high-flash naphthas; it also shows good compatibility with ester and ketone solvents when formulating low-VOC or high-solids systems.
