Binder

Synthetic resin dispersion (emulsion)

Field of Application

High-grade synthetic resin dispersion/emulsion binder, used for self-preparing exterior and interior paints. Also suitable for priming, upgrading distemper paints, and as an additive for wall paper glue to achieve a sufficient adhesion of dense wallpapers and fabrics, for gloss-coatings, semi-transparent glaze/scumbling coats (thin film translucent coating), artistic paint work, etc.

Upgrading of Distemper Paints:
The wash/wipe resistance of distemper paints can be improved by adding approx. 5 - 10 % of Binder.

Semi-Transparent Glaze/Scumbling Coats:
Dilute 2 parts of Binder with 1 part of tap (potable) water and add ready-made emulsion based colourants, e.g. AVA (AmphiColor^®) or CaparolColor, depending on the desired effect.

Bonding of Wallpapers and Fabrics:
The adhesive power and initial adhesion of glues used for dense wallpapers and glass fabrics can be improved by adding up to 20 % Binder.

Self-Prepared Paint:

	Bond	Weather-resistant	Wash-resistant
Parts by volume	Binder	1	1
Parts by volume	Pigmented slurry/pulp	2	3
Parts by weight	Binder	1	1
	Paint	2	3
	Water	1	1.5

Material Properties

The field of application for Binder as a universal dispersion/emulsion binder is wide.
The binder is a well proven and very versatile product, especially for use in the associated areas that arise from painting work, e.g. restorative painting.
