FLTY Oil-Based Universal Colorant Series (A81 Ketone-Aldehyde Resin)

Overview

TheFLTY seriesis an oil-based, universal solvent-borne color paste line usingA81 ketone-aldehyde (aldehyde-ketone) resin as the carrier, at approximately 40% resin content. The A81 carrier delivers high gloss, strong adhesion, fast drying, and excellent yellowing resistance, with broad compatibility across solvent-based binders. FLTY is thecost-effective workhorse for industrial coatings, and is also widely used in inks and plastics for coloring.

Why Choose the A81 Ketone-Aldehyde Carrier?

Ketone-aldehyde resins are neutral, hard, and highly compatible with common coating resins and solvents. They enhance film gloss, pigment wetting, and adhesion while enabling fast physical drying and excellent non-yellowing performance. This makes A81 a proven, reliable carrier for universal industrial color pastes—delivering consistent results at a competitive cost.

Typical Specifications

| Property | Value | |---|---| | Carrier resin | A81 ketone-aldehyde resin | | Resin content | ~40% | | Pigment loading | 15%–75% (color-dependent) | | System | Solvent-based (oil-based) | | Drying | Fast physical drying | | Key properties | High gloss, adhesion, non-yellowing | | Form | Free-flowing paste |

Handling & Selection

Add the paste slowly to the binder with thorough agitation. Run a small-scale let-down/compatibility test before full production. Select exterior grades (FLTY-2900, FLTY-3800) for long-term weathering resistance and standard interior grades for optimal cost efficiency. Use nano MA100 grades for high-gloss black finishes and FLTY-706 for non-yellowing white finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the A81 carrier in FLTY pastes?A81 is a ketone-aldehyde resin used at approximately 40% concentration. It delivers high gloss, excellent adhesion, rapid drying, and superior yellowing resistance, with strong compatibility in solvent-borne coating systems.

What is FLTY best suited for?FLTY is a cost-effective, general-purpose line for oil-based industrial coatings, inks, and plastics. It delivers strong performance at a competitive price for high-volume applications.

How does FLTY differ from a resin-free paste?FLTY contains A81 carrier resin, which enhances gloss, adhesion, and drying performance. Resin-free pastes (such as the RFNC series) provide maximum cross-system compatibility for demanding automotive applications, while FLTY is optimized for value in industrial coatings.

Are exterior or weathering grades available?Yes. Grades like FLTY-2900 Golden Yellow and FLTY-3800 China Red are formulated for multi-year exterior durability, while standard grades target interior or short-term exposure.

Which black and white grades should I select?Use nano MA100 blacks (FLTY-1000/1009) for high-gloss finishes and FLTY-706 for non-yellowing, high-hiding white.
