Description:

• It is based on AVANSE™ Technology and offers self-crosslinking possibilities.
• Designed to provide an excellent balance of properties including enhanced pigment wetting, corrosion control, gloss, and exterior durability.

Features:

• Corrosion Resistance: Offers remarkable corrosion resistance.
• Cost/Performance Balance: Reduces the need for dispersants and rheology modifiers, providing good barrier properties.
• High Gloss Potential: Capable of high gloss potential and very good durability.
• Single Resin for Multiple Applications: Can be used in various applications including direct-to-metal coatings.
• Low VOC Formulations: Provides formulations with low VOCs, meeting stringent regulations.
• APEO Free: Does not contain Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylates (APEO).

Formulation Guidelines:

• Coalescents: Requires slow-evaporating coalescents for good film formation.
• Freeze-Thaw Protection: Co-solvents like propylene glycol may extend freeze-thaw resistance.
• Pigments: Reactive pigments can be used to increase corrosion resistance.
• Defoamers: Necessary to eliminate foam during manufacture and application.
• Flash Rust Inhibitors: Recommended in waterborne paints for steel to prevent rapid rusting.
• Reactive Pigments: Used in primer formulations to increase corrosion resistance.
• Extenders: Talc or talc/calcium carbonate combinations yield good barrier properties.
• Colorants: Careful selection is required to maintain corrosion resistance.

Performance Data:

• Offers excellent protection to metals, especially when applied in a double coat or as a primer and topcoat system.
• Provides over 300 hours of salt spray resistance.
• Demonstrates good gloss retention and durability after natural exposure.

Handling Precautions:

• Before use, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for handling precautions.
• Store products in tightly closed original containers at recommended temperatures.
