Conditions

Temperature
125 °C

Procedure

With the apparatus of Example 1, 174.2 grams aluminum tri-isopropoxide was charged, followed by 94.4 grams of isooctyl acohol and 108.4 grams of hexylene glycol. The mixture was heated with agitation to 90° C. where isopropyl alcohol began distilling off. A high boiling petroleum solvent was added and the material was heated to 125° C. where vacuum was applied to remove the remaining isopropyl alcohol. The material was cooled and adjusted to a final active solids content of 48% by addition of more petroleum solvent.
