TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
LUBRIZOL 2063 is an adhesion promoter that can be used to
improve the adhesion of a wide variety of solventborne and
waterborne coatings to metal substrates.
It is also an effective metal pretreatment. As a coating additive,
LUBRIZOL 2063 provides the following benefits:
• Improves adhesion of coatings onto metal substrates
• Enhances corrosion resistance
• Incorporates easily
• Can be used in waterborne coatings
• Dramatic synergistic effect against corrosion when combined
with zinc phosphate
• Does not adversely impact storage stability
As a metal pretreatment, LUBRIZOL 2063 provides the following
benefits:
• May enhance the adhesion of coatings applied to poorly
prepared substrates
• Reduces flash rust
LUBRIZOL 2063 is useful in a variety of applications including:
• Coil coatings
• Industrial coatings
Based on:
• Thermosetting alkyds
• Thermosetting acrylics
• Thermosetting polyesters
• Lacquers
The recommended addition level of LUBRIZOL 2063 is 1 to 3%,
based on total formulation weight. A stepladder approach is
recommended to determine the optimum level of addition.
LUBRIZOL 2063 should be added very slowly to the letdown stage
of manufacturing. In waterborne coatings, the presence of
cosolvents and amino alcohols enhances the solubility of the ester.

LUBRIZOL 2063 is available in 200 liter (55 gallon) drums and 20
liter (5 gallon) pails.
Store in original, unopened containers.
Shelf life: 2 years. After this, the product should be tested prior to
use.
LUBRIZOL 2063 is FDA approved for use in a food contact coating
applied to aluminum, as indicated by 21 CFR Section 175.260 –
Partial phosphoric acid esters of polyester resins. To operate under
this section, the coating must be cured at temperatures exceeding
450°F (232°C). This allows LUBRIZOL 2063 to completely cure and
properly bond to the aluminum.
As indicated above, LUBRIZOL 2063 also finds use as an adhesion
promoter in baked systems based on alkyds (including those
modified with urea, melamine and vinyl functionalities), acrylics and
lacquers. Baked systems containing LUBRIZOL 2063 are especially
effective on aluminum and galvanized steel.
Due to its resinous nature, LUBRIZOL 2063 can also be added to
paint formulations replacing 3 to 10% of the base resins described
above. Not only does LUBRIZOL 2063 not have any adverse effects
on the paint’s storage stability, it also maintains its performance after
long-term storage.
