An ambient temperature self-crosslinking acrylic copolymer emulsion based on AVANSE™ Acrylic Resin Technology that offers formulators a single resin which can be formulated into corrosion-resistant primers, highly durable topcoats, and high gloss direct-to-metal (DTM) finish coats. The novel technology behind the product leads to new standards in corrosion control, metal adhesion, film gloss, durability, and chemical and solvent resistance, making it a great choice for both factory and field applied finishes for metal, concrete and masonry substrates.
