Hercules Powder Company, a leading supplier of pcntaerythritol for the protective coatings industry, recently completed a comprehensive study of alkvd-amine automotive and appliance finivheN. Hercules laboratory results show conclusively that PE alkvds made with Em fae 1 J n j Pchu^onic Acid as the fatty acid modifier have definite advantages. Primary improvements include hettcr color, color stability, uloss, and çloss retention. Other advantages are hardness, resistance to dirt pick-up, and alkali resistance. Since Emfac 1202 Pelaruonie Arid is competitive in price with other fatty acid modifiers, your PE alkvds can have these superior properties with no increase in cost. Benin your evaluation of PE-pelargonir alkvds today. Trial samples of Emfac 1 202 are available on request.
