2% Lithium Ten-Cem® WS

Drier and esterification catalyst in the synthesis of unsaturated polyester resins

Physical Characteristics

Appearance Light straw-colored liquid
Metal content Li: 1.90 – 2.10 %
Non-volatile content 50.00 – 60.00 % ASTM D 1644
Viscosity A-5 to E ASTM D 2373
Specific gravity 1.010 – 1.040 (25°C) ASTM D 1963
Density NA

Features

  • Lithium salt of neodecanoic acid in aqueous solution
  • Enables the resin manufacturer to produce resins of significantly lighter color while also allowing for better molecular weight control and improved product viscosities
  • Easy to handle and disperses readily
  • Recommended as a transesterification or alcoholysis catalyst for the production of alkyd and epoxy resins
  • Provides extra film toughness
  • Effective through drier for oxidatively cured resins
  • Must be used in addition to surface driers like Cobalt, Manganese and Borchi® OXY-Coat

Applications

  • Oxidatively cured resins, including:
    • Alkyds
    • Epoxy esters

Dosage

The exact amount required should always be determined in preliminary trial.

Storage
