Hazard Symbol Incralac

Special Lacquer for Copper, Brass and Bronze Protection Developed by INCRA (International Copper Research Association) expressly for copper-bearing alloys. Most clear coating failures on bronze, brass and copper are due to underfilm staining and tarnishing. INCRALAC contains benzotriazole as a chelating agent to prevent this action. Affords superior resistance to ultraviolet light; excellent resistance to salt air environments. Can be expected to provide at least 5 years protection (normal exterior with 1 ml thick coat). Remove with conventional paint strippers. Air dries to touch and recoat in 30 minutes; complete cure in 48 hours. 13% solids. Thin with toluene.

Now available in a water-based formula that dries to a slightly harder finish. Can be thinned with N-Methyl-2-Pyrolidinone. Water based formula does not ship as a hazardous material.

Soluvar Varnish

A removable picture varnish. Colorless, highly durable, non-tacky and non-yellowing. For use on acrylic and polymer colors, oil color, casein and tempera paintings , so that traditional cleaning, restoring and revarnishing can be accomplished. Easily and safely removed, even after many years, using Stoddard solvent, mineral spirits or turpentine.

Zonarez No. 7115

Used with microcrystaline waxes for painting relining. Light in color. Heat stable. Neutral resistance to acids, alkalais, salts, and water. Thermoplasmic polyterpene resin.
F4017-01010 lbs$70.00

Acryloid (Paraloid) F-10

Acryloid (Paraloid) F-10 is a butyl methacrylate polymer. This resin is medium in hardness and elasticity. While it possesses the water-white color, transparency and resistance to discoloration of the other Acryloid grades, it is somewhat less resistant to acids and alkalis and offers no resistance to petroleum hydrocarbons. Thus Acryloid F-10 makes possible acrylic coating which may be applied by brushing or dipping. Films of Acryloid F-10 tack-free at ordinary temperatures, but they become tacky at 100°F. This product is soluble in petroleum hydrocarbons. A few suggested uses: clear coatings on wood, cloth, metal and gravure inks. Acryloid F-10 is supplied at 40% solids in mineral thinner/Amsco Fat Solvent ratio of 9 to 1.

Acryloid (Paraloid) B-67

Acryloid (Paraloid) B-67 is an Isobutyl Methacrylate polymer. This alkyd compatible acrylic ester resin is particularly designed to have good compatibility with paints and varnishes. Acryloid B-67 is a component of many coatings used in conservation, as for example picture varnishes. Soluble in acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, isopropanol, VM & P Naphtha and Stoddard Solvent. Custom Blends available.

Acryloid (Paraloid) B-72

Acryloid (Paraloid) B-72 - an Ethyl Methacrylate copolymer is an excellent general purpose resin. It can be applied in either clear or pigmented coatings by a variety of application methods and can be air-dried or baked. Acryloid B-72 has a very low reactivity with sensitive pigments. It is durable and non-yellowing and is compatible with other film forming materials such as vinyl cellulosics, chlorinated rubbers, and silicones and can be used in combination with them to produce coatings with a wide variety of characteristics with emphasis on stability and transparency. Acryloid (Paraloid) B-72 is unique in possessing a high tolerance for ethanol. This property allows its use in applications where strong solvents cannot be tolerated. The alcohol dispersions may be cloudy or milky; however, clear, coherent films are formed.

Acryloid (Paraloid) B-72 is insoluble in isopropanol and mineral thinners. Supplied as the 100% solids resin.

Acryloid (Paraloid) B-48N

Acryloid (Paraloid) B-48N is a Methyl Methacrylate copolymer. It is unique in adhesion to bare and primed metals in addition to possessing toughness, flexibility and exterior durability. This resin has excellent block resistance and fast solvent release and is attractive for both air - drying and baking finishes. Suggested uses are as a coating for copper, bronze and zinc. Supplied at 45% solids in Toluene. Custom blends available
