Applications: Coating Applications

PREPARATION OF THE SOLUTION - DRYING
- Ixan® SGA-1 resin is soluble in many common solvents, among which esters and ketones are used most often.
- These solvents can be used alone or in mixtures.
- Solutions of Ixan® SGA-1 are clear and pale yellow. The color intensity depends on the solvent(s) used. The resin is dissolved at a concentration of 200 to 300g/l. Solutions can be prepared at room temperature, but raising the solution temperature to 40-50°C can reduce the dissolution time.
- A good quality coating requires adequate drying in order to eliminate as much of the solvents as possible, and to form a film with optimum properties.
- The coating machine must be designed to process solvent-based products.

DELIVERY AND STORAGE
- Ixan® SGA-1 will be delivered and stored in Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) or bags wrapped on pallets. To avoid degradation, store the product preferably at a constant temperature and below 25°C.

REGULATORY INFORMATION
- The monomers used for the production of Ixan® SGA-1 comply with the requirements of the EU Commission Regulation No. 10/2011 of 14 January 2011.
- Ixan® SGA-1 complies fully with the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and all applicable food additive regulations.
- The monomers used for the production of Ixan® SGA-1 comply with the Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
- SolVin will provide further certification documentation upon request

ISO CERTIFICATION
