How to use anti-mildew agent KP-M27 for powder coating

It can be added at all stages of powder coating or powder glue production process to ensure that the addition ratio is 0.3~0.5% of the solid content, the general addition amount 0.30-0.50% (O.W.F), the special case addition amount up to 1.0% (O.W.F), and in the coating or glue can be fully dispersed evenly, which can effectively prevent the reproduction and growth of mold on the surface of powder products.

The amount of addition can be adjusted according to the performance of powder products and the use of environment, in the southern high temperature and high humidity environment, the application of high concentration 0.6-0.8% (O.W.F), in the north and the mainland can use a low concentration of 0.3-0.5% (O.W.F)

Although triethanolamine has low cost and high activity, it is strongly hydrophilic and water-absorbent, which makes its compatibility in many light-curing formulation systems unsatisfactory, and it is easy to bring moisture into the coating, which affects the quality of film formation. It will induce slow corrosion of the coating interface, and serious yellowing is also a major defect of triethanolamine. The compatibility of triethylamine is very good, but the volatility is too strong, and it is easy to volatilize and lose during storage. In addition, the amine odor is too strong, and users are reluctant to accept it. N,N-dimethylethanolamine, N,N-diethylethanolamine, acrylic acid (N.N-dimethylamino) ethyl ester and N-methyldiethanolamine can well balance compatibility and volatilization, 288 coating additives
Odor is a problem, and the activity is very good. It should be noted that commonly used active amines are sensitive to oxygen. Many industrial grade tertiary amines have darker colors. This is the result of partial oxidation. When used in light-curing coatings, they are often Easy to cause yellowing. Therefore, micronized wax additives the types of active amines should be screened according to product requirements. At the same time, under the premise of meeting the curing rate, the amount of active amines should be reduced as much as possible to reduce the possibility of yellowing.

Benzophenone/tertiary amine photoinitiation system
Benzophenone (BP) industrial products are generally colorless or slightly yellow crystals, and have good solubility in common solvents. The maximum absorption wavelength is about 340nm, which matches the emission wavelength of the medium pressure mercury lamp. BP is easy to synthesize and is a low-cost photoinitiator, but its photoinitiation activity is generally not as good as HM PP, HCP K and other commonly used cracking photoinitiators. When used as a photoinitiator, the curing rate is relatively slow and easy It causes yellowing of the cured coating, and the use of a large amount of tertiary amine co-initiator will aggravate the yellowing.
