New Water-Based Fluoropolymer from Arkema

Kynar® AquatecTM is an innovative technology based on acrylic-modified Kynar® PVDF resin in a convenient emulsion form. Liquid coatings formulated with Kynar® AquatecTM deliver the durability and performance of traditional Kynar® PVDF coatings, but dry at ambient temperature. These coatings can be easily applied to a variety of substrates, including metals, PVC, textiles, and elastomers.

“The processing ease and remarkable properties of Kynar® AquatecTM emulsions are opening up new applications for protective surface coatings.” says Kevin Hanrahan, Business Development Manager.

Kynar® AquatecTM emulsions are incorporated into high-performance paints and coatings using formulating guidelines similar to those employed for acrylic emulsions. These coatings provide extreme weatherability in a VOC-compliant, field- or factory-applied, ambient air-dry system. Additional benefits include tremendous resistance to dirt pickup, outstanding water repellency, excellent adhesion, and easy application.

A global chemical player, Arkema consists of three coherent and related business segments: Vinyl Products, Industrial Chemicals, and Performance Products. Present in over 40 countries with 18,400 employees, Arkema achieves sales of €5.7 billion ($6.7 billion). With its six research centers in France, the United States and Japan, and internationally recognized brands, Arkema holds leadership positions in its principal markets.
