EO or PO Distribution • Alkoxylated products always have a Poisson distribution • Catalysis and/or reaction temperature can help control distribution
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
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
Benefits of Using BPA Alkoxylates • Corrosion resistance • Chemical and moisture resistance • Flexibility • Toughness/hardness • Improved adhesion • Tg variation to meet final product needs

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 2.0 - 2.2 • Control of Tg (glass transition temperature)
Current Uses • Electodeposition coatings • 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
Current Uses • Urethane foam and adhesives • Use various EO and PO derivatives • Provide adhesion to metal
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
Performance testing • Hardness • 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
