1. Bis-Phenol A Alkoxylates

2. BPA Propoxylate

3. BPA Ethoxylate

4. EO or PO Distribution
Alkoxylated products always have a Poisson distribution
Catalysis and/or reaction temperature can help control distribution

5. Uniqema’s Process Sophisticated post-treatment technique
Low acid number
Gardner color consistently at 1 or below
Very low ion content (Na/K/P)
Tight distribution

6. Features of BPA Alkoxylates
Hydroxyl termination for use as a resin or a resin intermediate
Aromatic moiety for resistance, adhesion and toughness
Free rotation of methyl groups between aromatic groups for flexibility
Limitless variations in size of EO, PO or EO/PO chains

7. Benefits of Using BPA Alkoxylates
Corrosion resistance
Chemical and moisture resistance
Flexibility
Toughness/hardness
Improved adhesion
Tg variation to meet final product needs

18. Current Uses
Unsaturated polyester resins for fiberglass reinforcement, glass sizing and corrosion resistance
Use PO derivatives from 2.0 to 16.0
Provide moisture and chemical resistance, adhesion, corrosion resistance
Toner resins
Use EO and PO derivatives
Control of Tg (glass transition temperature)

19. Current Uses Electodeposition coatings Radiation curable monomers
Use 6.0 EO derivative
Provides hardness for stone resistance and adhesion
Radiation curable monomers
Use EO derivatives from 2.2 to 30 moles
Provide resistances, hardness/flexibility and adhesion

20. Current Uses Urethane foam and adhesives
Use various EO and PO derivatives
Provide adhesion to metal

21. Effect of BPAA in metal coating polyester system
Polyester melamine system
solvent based
building blocks used
Neopentylglycol, Hexanediol, Adipic acid, Isophtalic acid, Terephtalic acid
Hexanediol and Neopentylglycol were used as reference and partially replaced with BPAA

22. Performance testing Hardness Some applications require both properties
König Hardness represents the visco-elastic behaviour of a coating
Buchholz Hardness represents deformation elasticity, i.e. a kind of recoverability (nail test), required for metal coating in particular
Some applications require both properties
