Arkema has introduced the next generation in Kynar PVDF®: Kynar Aquatec™. This coating uses an innovative technology based on acrylic-modified Kynar® PVDF resin in a convenient emulsion form. Liquid coatings formulated with Kynar Aquatec™ emulsions deliver the durability and performance of traditional Kynar® PVDF based coatings, but dry at ambient temperatures.

These coatings can be easily applied to a variety of substrates, including metals, PVC, textiles, and elastomers. Kynar Aquatec™ emulsions are incorporated into high-performance paints and coatings using formulating guidelines similar to those employed for acrylic emulsions.

Properties

The extreme weatherability of Kynar® based coatings is now available in VOC-compliant, field- or factory-applied, ambient

air-dry system.

Additional benefits include:

Excellent dirt shedding
Outstanding water repellency
Excellent adhesion

Markets and applications

Metal cool roofing: these new fluoropolymer coatings provide long-term energy savings that no conventional coating can achieve.

Metal Restoration: coatings based on Kynar Aquatec™ enable metal surfaces to be touched-up, repaired, or restored and have good adhesion to previously coated surfaces
