General: Benzoin is an organic compound which is used for degassing in powder coatings. It can be also used as disinfector or used in other chemical analysis. Chemical Name: 2-Hydroxy-2-Phenylacetophenone Molecular weight: 212.25 CAS No.: 119-53-9/579-44-2 Physical Properties Appearance : Off-white crystalline powder Purity (%, by HPLC) : 99.00 min Melting Point (OC) : 133.0~137.0 Loss on drying (%) : 0.50 max Ignition Residue (%) : 0.10 max Moisture (%) : 0.10 max Applications: Benzoin can be used for degassing bubbles in the melt coatings and hence can eliminate or reduce some imperfections especially pinholes. It can be applied in all categories of powder coatings. The dosage of Benzoin is about 0.3~0.8% of the whole formulation. The actual amount shall be based on the test in laboratory. The dosage should be properly controlled to obtain suitable film, as superfluous Benzoin may cause yellowing phenomena. Just mix Benzoin with other materials directly and then extrude the compound together. Storage Conditions: Kept at low/ambient temperature and dry conditions. Avoid contacting with strong oxidants. Safety & Handling: Detailed information is provided in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Packaging: 25Kgs net per Kraft Bag, 750Kgs net per Pallet
