An aqueous, 100% acrylic polymer designed for interior and exterior, VOC compliant, gloss and semigloss enamels. This binder uses ambient crosslinking technology to offer improved enamel performance versus conventional latex polymers. The combination of a 100% acrylic backbone and ambient cure crosslinking technology offers excellent performance in 150 g/L VOC gloss and semigloss formulations. Gloss enamels based on this product offer resistant coatings with excellent adhesion, block, and stain removal.
