Arkema has introduced SYNAQUA® 9511, a new acrylic polyol emulsion specifically developed for challenging industrial applications.
Arkema has recently launched SYNAQUA® 9511, a new performance waterborne binder specifically designed for the formulation of industrial paints with reduced VOC levels
(<150 g/l).
The new binder developed by Arkema is a waterborne acrylic polyol emulsion with hydroxyl groups (3% OH) specifically designed for challenging industrial applications. SYNAQUA 9511 is then suitable for both top-coat and mono-coat applications on several substrates such as metal, plastic, glass, wood and concrete flooring.
“SYNAQUA® 9511 acrylic polyol emulsion offers significantly lower VOC capabilities and performs well in 2K or 1K stoving systems. Our goal was to help industrial paint formulators more easily meet their sustainability goals by achieving lower VOC levels with a high-performance waterborne solution,” has stated Claire Reynier, the global marketing and business development manager at Arkema Coating Solutions.
So, the coatings produced with the company’s new product help manufacturers to meet key performance target of durability, gloss, adhesion and chemical resistance. Specific benefits include:
- On Metal (2K PU Topcoat): low VOC capability (86 g/l), chemical resistance, durability and good mechanical properties;
- On Metal (1K Stoving Topcoat): low VOC capability (100g/l), good hardness, chemical resistance and low yellowing;
- On Plastic (2K PU Topcoat): low VOC capability (85 g/l), good adhesion, high hardness, chemical resistance and durability;
- On Glass (1K Stoving Monocoat): Low VOC capability (100 g/l), high hardness, good adhesion, water resistance and chemical resistance.
“Sustainability is a core component of everything we do, from research, new product development, to manufacturing, to how we ship and handle our products. We are continually looking for new ways to help our customers meet current and emerging sustainability challenges in this industry,” has concluded Reynier.
