DSM Uralac AV403 Alkyd Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Uralac AV403 in alkyd-based coatings?

A: Uralac AV403 is a water-reducible alkyd resin designed to serve as a film-forming binder in low-VOC, high-performance decorative and protective coatings. It enables formulators to achieve good gloss, hardness development, and substrate adhesion while supporting aqueous processing.


Q2: Is Uralac AV403 compatible with common co-binders and crosslinkers used in industrial alkyd systems?

A: Yes — Uralac AV403 demonstrates broad compatibility with acrylic emulsions, polyurethane dispersions, melamine formaldehyde resins, and metal driers (e.g., cobalt-, zirconium-, or calcium-based). Compatibility should always be verified experimentally within the target formulation due to pH, ionic strength, and shear sensitivity.


Q3: How should Uralac AV403 be stored and handled to maintain stability?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from direct sunlight and freezing conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity during handling. The resin is supplied as a stable aqueous dispersion and does not require special inerting, but agitation before use is recommended if settled.


Q4: Can Uralac AV403 be used in food-contact coatings?

A: Uralac AV403 is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact applications. Its suitability for such uses depends on full regulatory assessment by the formulator, including migration testing and compliance with applicable regional frameworks (e.g., EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 or FDA 21 CFR).
