Arkema's Kynar Aquatec®: the easy-dry coating !
Arkema presents a new waterborne fluoropolymer resin: Kynar Aquatec®. This innovative product offers the durability and performance of traditional Kynar® coatings, whilst drying at ambient temperature.
Developed from Arkema's research, Kynar Aquatec® is an emulsion of a Kynar® PVDF copolymer with an acrylic resin. Kynar Aquatec® coatings are water-based formulations that do not need to be baked - an ambient air-dry is all that is needed. They can be used on a variety of substrates, including PVC, textile, elastomers, etc.
Kynar Aquatec® emulsions are formulated into high-performance paints using formulating guidelines that are similar to those employed for typical acrylic emulsions. In addition, the aqueous nature of the emulsion means that the system is low in volatile organic compounds.
Manufactured with a technology developed from Kynar® coatings, Kynar Aquatec® features the same characteristics and properties as other Kynar® coatings. The ease of processing and the remarkable properties of Kynar Aquatec® are opening up new application possibilities for protective surface coatings
