Lacquer film-formers

The basic film formers of lacquers are then cellulosics most lacquers also contain resin for improved adhesion, film thickness, and gloss, and plasticizers for improved flexibility. Each of these three types of lacquer film formers is briefly examined. [Pg.72]

Vinyl lacquers are used mainly where a high degree of chemical resistance is required these lacquers are based on vinyl chlorides and vinyl acetates. Acrylic lacquers are based on methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate polymers and copolymers. Other esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid also may be used to make nonconvertible film formers. Judicious selection of these acrylic acid or methacrylic acid esters allows one to produce film formers with specifically designed properties such as hardness, flexibility, gloss, durability, heat, and chemical resistance. Acrylic lacquers, however, are not noted for their water resistance. The principal uses of acrylic-type lacquers are fluorescent and metallic paints, car refinish applications, clear lacquers and sealers for metals, and protective coatings for aircraft components and for vacuum-deposited metals, as well as uses in pigmented coatings for cabinets and appliances.

When used as an additive in a converting system, the cellulose ester does not have to be a high-performance film former but can be very low viscosity and still perform the function expected of it. Upon application, the presence of CAB in the coating gives it certain lacquer like properties including rapid dry-to-touch time. During conversion, the cellulose ester performs as a polyol and converts with the balance of the reactive film former. [Pg.1072]
