Allnex SETAL FX60/70 Alkyd Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary functional role of SETAL FX60/70 in alkyd-based coatings?

A: SETAL FX60/70 functions as a reactive diluent and viscosity modifier, enabling formulators to reduce solvent demand while maintaining good flow, leveling, and film formation properties in air-drying alkyd systems.


Q2: How does SETAL FX60/70 differ from conventional long-oil alkyd resins in terms of drying performance?

A: Unlike traditional long-oil alkyds, SETAL FX60/70 is designed for faster through-dry and improved hardness development due to its optimized fatty acid composition and controlled molecular architecture—without requiring cobalt driers in many standard formulations.


Q3: Is SETAL FX60/70 compatible with water-reducible alkyd systems?

A: Yes, it demonstrates good compatibility in hybrid water-reducible alkyd dispersions when used with appropriate emulsifiers and co-solvents, supporting stable formulations with balanced hydrophobicity and film integrity.


Q4: Can SETAL FX60/70 be used in high-solids decorative coatings without compromising application properties?

A: Yes—it is specifically engineered for high-solids applications, delivering low-viscosity behavior at elevated resin solids, which supports sprayability, brushability, and reduced VOC content while retaining film flexibility and gloss retention.
