GUIDE FORMULATION
Raw material Kg Remarks
AC-EAGLE (TP-60T60) 60% 280.0 Thermoplastic acrylic resin
Benton paste 38 20.0 Rehology modifier
BYK 101 6.0 Dispersing agent

Toluene 44.0
Total 1000.0

NOTES
• At first we compose a solution of the resin without pigment, and carbonate, and apply the varnish over crystal to
check if the film formation is correct.
• If the film formation is correct, repeat the test, but with pigmented paint. Also over crystal, to check the hardness
and the abrasion resistance that must be very high.
• Addition of plastisizer offers good resistance to the abrasion as it helps good film formation
• The recommended plasticizer is Di-cyclo-hexyl-phthalate or Di-octyl-phthalate and not Di-butyl-phthalate or
chlorinated paraffin, to ensure that the film remains with superficial tack carrying no dirt resistance
• To ensure good adhesion and dirt resistance in very high temperature and even if the asphalt is not well prepared
we have to add Isopropanol or Isobutanol to prevent the paint solvent to attack the asphalt .
RESINS FOR ROAD MARKING PAINTS
WATERBORNE ACRYLIC EMULSIONS
EAGA CRYL-6050 is a water borne, EPEO free all-acrylic binder that suits applications in marginal
conditions of temperature, humidity and air flow.
ADVANTAGES

• Superior yellowing resistance with continuous outdoor UV radiation.


• Very fast drying in high humidity, low temperature and poor air flow allowing short open traffic
time.
• Environmentally acceptable, formulated to V.O.C.s as low as 80 g/l meeting or exceeding most
regulations for traffic marking paints.
• Better retention of glass beads helping paints to retain their flexibility on aging.
• Easier, safer cleanup that can be done using water and mild solvents or detergents with
excellent wash-off resistance and good dirt pick-up resistance.
• Increased worker safety , exposure to volatile organic solvents is greatly reduced.
• Significantly reduces disposal costs as waterborne acrylic paints can be solidified easily and
disposed of as nonhazardous waste
