Product Code: 91789-00
Oxirane-Modified Ester for
Two-Component Polyester-Epoxy Systems
DESCRIPTION
AROFLINT ® 608 is an oxirane-modified ester supplied without solvent. It is used in combination with high acid
value polyesters such as AROFLINT ® 252-Z1-60, 404-XX-60, D808-XD-71, 809, or 810 at various ratios to yield
high performance coatings where excellent appearance, durability and toughness are required.
APPLICATIONS
• Agricultural and construction equipment (ACE)
• Tool and implement coatings
• Marine and industrial maintenance finishes
• Transportation and aerospace coatings
• Public and industrial buildings
• Porcelain coatings and bathtub refinish
FEATURES
• Non-Isocyanate for improved worker safety
• Brilliant gloss and depth of image for a “wet” look
• Outstanding stain and chemical resistance
• Excellent durability and low VOC capability
• Tough abrasion resistant films
• Wide formulating latitude and long pot life

STORAGE
Store in typical warehouse conditions, 40-90°F, to ensure a useful shelf life of at least one year. AROFLINT ® 608
may partially crystallize during extended storage at low temperatures. Resin that has crystallized can be remelted
by holding at 130°F to 150°F until all crystals have dissolved. Remelting of crystallized resin has no negative
effects on performance.
SAFETY
Read the AROFLINT ® 608 Material Safety Data Sheet before handling, storing, or using this product.
