Trilene® EPDM For Water-based Coatings

What is Trilene®  65D from Lion Elastomers?

• EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer)
• 50/50 Ethylene/Propylene Ratio (45% Ethylene by Weight)
• Water Dispersed
• 55% Solids by Weight
• Can be Used as a Tackifier for Adhesive Applications

When used in a formulation, Trilene® 65D imparts:

• Excellent UV, Heat, Oxidation, and Chemical Stability
• Good Mechanical Strength
• Enhanced Durability
• Zero Volatile Organic Content (VOC)
• Improved Flexibility
• Low Moisture Permeability
• Adheres to a Variety of Surfaces

Sample coatings formulation

Formulation Instructions

Mix the Deionized Water, DISPERBYK® 2055, and Ti-Pureᵀᴹ R-706 until well dispersed.
Mix the Mineral Spirits, Ricon® 156, and SR350 until homogeneous.
Add Trilene® 65D to the resin mixture.
Combine the dispersed Ti-Pureᵀᴹ and resin mixtures.
Add 10% Cobalt Hydro-Cure® IV and 12% Zirconium Hydro-Cem last.

Formulation Notes

*a VOC exempt solvent can be substituted for Mineral Spirits
† a peroxide like Peroxan® PIN can be added to make a 2K system and further accelerate cure time
‡ base formula is considered low VOC
