Product PRIMAL HG-90 Binder is a pure acrylic emulsion polymer designed for gloss
Description enamels providing superior film resistance properties and very nice appearance.
PRIMAL HG-90 Binder uses ambient temperature cross-linking technology to offer
improved film performance versus conventional polymers. It has a high gloss
potential, excellent hardness development and durability for interior and exterior
applications.
Application APEO-free
Very good gloss potential
Good development and block resistance
Excellent exterior durability
Remarkable alkyd adhesion
Excellent stain and grease resistance

Below are some guidelines to help formulators:
Dispersants
Traditional hydrophobic copolymers like OROTAN 731A-ER or hydrophilic copolymers like
OROTAN 1124 can be used for pigment dispersion with this self cross-linking binder. Both give good
gloss development and pigment stability upon aging of the paint
Defoamers
A combination of Byk-019 and Byk-024 defoamers was found to give good performance in
gloss and semi gloss formulations based on emulsion PRIMAL HG-90 Binder.
Biocides
Although standard in can preservatives could be used in paint formulations, it is always suggested
to test them for compatibility and efficacy.
ROCIMA 564 is recommended as in-can preservative.
If PRIMAL HG-90 Binder is used in wet rooms, or for exterior coatings it is suggested to use a film
preservative like ROCIMA 350.
Formaldehyde or aldehyde releasing additives are not recommended when formulating paints with
PRIMAL HG-90 Binder. They can interact with the self cross-linking mechanism present in the binder
and adversely affect the performance of paints
