Compatibility
WorléeSin GM 201 is compatible with non drying and drying short, medium and long oil alkyds. It is also compatible with nitrocellulose and amino resins. Due to the large number of different resins, we recommend corresponding preliminary trials.

Solubility
WorléeSin GM 201 is soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons, esters, ketones, higher alcohols and glycol ether esters. In aromatic hydrocarbons WorléeSin GM 201 is partially soluble. It is insoluble in lower alcohols.

Application and Properties

Oil and Alkyd Resins
WorléeSin GM 201 is a universal maleic resin used for applications in a wide range of paint products. Although the paint films are clear when WorléeSin GM 201 is combined with drying oils, cooking is recommended to improve weather resistance. To this aim WorléeSin GM 201 is introduced and dissolved into the approx. 180 °C hot oil. Depending on the type of oil the temperature can be increased up to 240°C and kept at this level until the solvent solution of the cooking remains clear after cooling down.

WorléeSin GM 201 improves through-drying, gloss, hardness and film build of alkyd enamels and it adds gloss and structure to hammer finishes. For better use WorléeSin GM 201 is usually dissolved in a suitable solvent and then mixed to the main binder.

NC-Lacquers
WorléeSin GM 201 has good compatibility with nitrocellulose and is therefore used in nitrocellulose lacquers to improve gloss and film build of pigmented and clear varnishes without reducing the light stability. Due to the low acid value, WorléeSin GM 201 is also best suited for sanding sealers without fear of reaction with basic zinc soaps. WorléeSin GM 201 is especially used for furniture NC-lacquers when combined with nitrocellulose and non-drying alkyd resins, such as WorléeSin C 640.
