Acronal 296 D Acrylic BASF Acrylics/ Acrylates SEALANT ADHESIVE Acronal® 296 D is used as base material for producing adhesives for a greater variety of applications. High-speed forced circulation mixers are used in the production of building adhesives where a high viscosity and high solids content are desirable. In these applications, the dispersion and auxiliaries are first added to the mixer to prepare a pigment paste of the fillers and pigments. The low-film forming temperature of Acronal® 296 D can be reduced even further by adding solvents. Lower alcohols and glycols improve the resistance to frost, but generally do not reduce the film-forming temperature. A thickening agent must generally be added for adjusting the viscosity of the end product. In common with all dispersions of small particle size, Acronal® 296 D has a tendency to foam, and it is generally necessary to add conventional defoamer in proportion of 0.3-1%. Products containing Acronal® 296 D should be blended with a preservative in order to protect them from the attack of microorganisms. The suitability of the preservative must be determined by trials and regular inspections. Acrylic based resin. Has a tendency to foam. Can be used as a base material for producing adhesives for a variety of applications.
