Despite the differences in film formation, novel technology in polymers for water-based sealers gives an improved balance of properties that is commercially acceptable for today’s concrete sealers. The new type of polymer is compared to conventional concrete sealers for key performance properties.
Lindsay Doyle's lube emulsion and her customer's acrylic dispersion both crashed and separated like curdled milk. What had caused both systems to crash, and how were the causes related?
The improved adhesion, good corrosion resistance and good QUV gloss retention show that the hydrophobic resin in the hybrid polymer can be used to reduce the effects of high acid on corrosion and of styrene on QUV gloss retention.
The adhesion/corrosion balance of the previous study yielded significant new insights into resin design. Polymers with good wet adhesion and good corrosion resistance could be isolated, and those properties correlated back to their monomer compositions and particle morphologies.
BURNOCK AC 2530 acrylic polyol resin for air-dry curing systems and chemistries brings the same performance properties widely desired from a stoving system to an air-dry system.
UCECRYL B 3033 is crafted to allow coatings producers to formulate next-generation 1K concrete sealers that meet or exceed national VOC standards, allowing formulators to achieve a <100 g/L product.
