SETAQUA® ECO 9400

SETAQUA® ECO 9400 is a pure acrylic emulsion designed for use in exterior architectural coatings, offering excellent damage resistance and high durability. Here's an overview of its key features and applications as outlined in the provided technical datasheet:

Introduction:
SETAQUA® ECO 9400 is described as an APEO free pure acrylic emulsion, suitable for exterior architectural coatings.

Solvent:
Water

Typical Properties:

• Appearance: White opaque liquid
• Non-Volatiles: 49%
• Dynamic Viscosity (Brookfield): 1150 mPa.s
• pH: 8.5
• Minimum Film Formation Temperature (MFFT): 16°C
• Glass Transition Temperature (Tg): 24°C

Key Benefits:

• Environmentally friendly option
• Excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates
• Wide formulating window
• High stability when formulating with zinc oxide
• Low odor (not ammonia free)
• Low VOC
• Durable polymer suitable for many applications

Technical Features:
SETAQUA® ECO 9400 is highlighted as the hardest and most damage-resistant member of a polymer family aimed at providing more ecologically responsible exterior coatings. It's a high Tg (glass transition temperature), general-purpose polymer offering a more environmentally responsible option for coatings requiring higher damage resistance. Notably, it's manufactured without the use of formaldehyde or formaldehyde-generating raw materials.

Application:
Recommended for highly durable coatings across a wide range of gloss levels, with exceptional gloss development suitable for high gloss paint systems. It exhibits excellent adhesion to various substrates, including masonry, aged alkyd, fiber cement sheeting, concrete roof tiles, and various metals. Particularly suited for inflexible substrates such as masonry and concrete tiles, where its high hardness allows the formulation of coatings with a high level of dirt pick-up resistance.

Storage:
It should be stored under cover, out of direct sunlight, and avoiding extreme temperature changes. Sealed, unopened containers have a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture under normal storage conditions (5−35°C). If stored for longer, the product must be rechecked for suitability.

Safety:
Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling or use.

Overall, SETAQUA® ECO 9400 offers a range of environmental benefits, excellent performance characteristics, and versatility for exterior architectural coatings.
