Applications
JONCRYL® 2560 is a versatile polymer which can be utilized to produce high quality exterior wood stains,
decorative pigmented brushing enamels for exterior/interior use, and dip or spray applied timber joinery (e.g.
window frame) coatings. This applies to exterior wood stains as well as high gloss decorative brushing enamels.
In the wood stain market, JONCRYL® 2560 can be formulated to produce penetrating transparent stains,
as well as semi-transparent and solid color and higher solids stains.
High quality applications include wooden building panels, trim, window and door frames, doors, etc.
for exterior and/or interior use.
JONCRYL® 2560 can also be employed as a modifier for interior gloss enamels or industrial wood coatings
to lower coalescing solvent content while improving block resistance.
Performance
In exterior exposures JONCRYL® 2560 has demonstrated excellent flexibility and dimensional stability.
JONCRYL® 2560 also exhibits excellent transparency for clear interior joinery coatings.
In the exterior/interior pigmented brushing enamel market, JONCRYL® 2560 features a unique combination
of good block resistance, very low VOC potential and high gloss capability. Excellent “hot” block resistance
(despite a low Tg and MFT).
In pigmented coatings for dip or spray applied exterior timber joinery, JONCRYL® 2560 exhibits a combination
of quick development of high temperature block resistance, adhesion and flexibility.

Formulation guidelines
Coalescing
Exterior durability, resistance properties and gloss development depend on the proper level and selection of coales-
cent. For optimum properties at low temperature a coalescent level of appr. 2% texanol, butyldiglycol or butylglycol
is recommended for JONCRYL® 2560 (on delivered form). Applications above 10°C can be formulated without the
use of coalescing solvents with excellent film formation properties.
Foam control
JONCRYL® 2560 is a low foaming polymer.
The following defoamers are recommended when necessary:
- Tego1 Foamex 805, 810 and 825
- BYK2 024 and 028
- Agitan3 260 and 315
Thickening
For optimal flow and leveling along with good brush loading, combinations of high
and low shear effective polyurethane associative thickeners are recommended and/or combinations
with acrylic associative thickeners like Coatex4 Rheo 2100 and 3000.
Examples of high medium shear effective PUR thickeners are:
- Bermodol5 PUR 2110 and 2130
- Rheolate6 278
Examples of low shear effective PUR thickeners is:
- Tafigel3 PUR 60
- Tafigel3 PUR 50
For higher gel structures, titanium chelating thickeners like Tilcom7 AT23 (Tioxide) can be used,
or silica’s like Aerosil8 200.

Pigment dispersion
JONCRYL® 2560 is a Rheology Controled emulsion providing the excellent shear stability needed for grinding
pigment directly into the polymer. Pigment wetting will be further improved e.g. by addition of Metolat3 FC
514.
Scratch resistance
JONCRYL® WAX 35 is recommended to improve scratch resistance and additionally room temperature and
high temperature block resistance. JONCRYL® WAX 120 is recommended to improve water beading effect.
Addition level JONCRYL® WAX 35 is appr. 2-3%.
Open time
In solvent free formulations the open time will be very short and in practice can only be used for spray
applications. Solvents like PPG can be added for lower VOC formulations. Other possibilities for formulating
0-VOC systems and improved open time with JONCRYL® 2560 include the addition of:
- plasticizers like Kodaflex9 TXIB
- cellulose thickeners
- waxes
- alkali soluble resins like JONCRYL® 8078 and JONCRYL® 8082
- amines like AMP 90 and DMEA
- aromatic free white spirits like Isopar10 H
