Waterborne Acrylic Finish

Performance and Uses

This product is an eco-friendly, single-component topcoat formulated with a modified acrylic resin as the primary binder, combined with weather-resistant pigments/fillers, functional additives, and deionized water. It offers superior weatherability, UV resistance, and excellent color retention.

  • Outstanding Weather & UV Resistance: Highly resistant to ultraviolet radiation. Long-term outdoor exposure will not cause easy fading, chalking, or cracking, ensuring superior gloss and color retention.

  • Dense Film & Self-Cleaning: Forms a tight, smooth paint film with excellent resistance to water, moisture, and atmospheric corrosion. It features dustproof and anti-pollution capabilities, allowing the surface to self-clean under rainwater rinsing.

  • Eco-Friendly & Safe: Waterborne formula with low odor, non-flammable, and non-explosive properties. It ensures safe application, easy thinning via clean water, and effortless cleanup.

  • Strong Adhesion & Compatibility: Delivers powerful substrate adhesion and excellent intercoat bonding. It is highly compatible with waterborne primers and intermediate coats, minimizing color discrepancies during touch-up maintenance.

Applications

Suitable for exterior light-duty and heavy-duty anti-corrosion engineering on steel-structure industrial facilities, guardrails, engineering machinery, pipelines, transportation facilities, and municipal steel structures. It is widely used as a topcoat in waterborne anti-corrosion systems to provide decorative, weather-resistant, and protective functions.

Surface Preparation

  • The application baseline surface must be dry, clean, and completely free of oil stains, dust, and impurities. The preceding primer coat must be fully dry and free of surface dust or contamination.

  • When overcoating existing coatings, the old film must be abraded and roughened to eliminate chalked, peeling, or loose areas. Clean the surface thoroughly before application to guarantee optimal intercoat adhesion.

Application Conditions

  • Temperature & Humidity: The application temperature range is 5 ~ 40°C with a relative humidity (RH) below 80%. The substrate surface temperature must be at least 3°C above the dew point.

  • Constraints: Application is strictly prohibited during high humidity, condensing conditions, or heavy fog to prevent the film from experiencing whitening or loss of gloss. Outdoor application is not recommended during rain, snow, heavy winds, or dusty conditions.

  • Sub-Zero Warning: Construction and storage ambient temperatures must never fall below 0°C. Freezing temperatures will cause latex emulsion breakage (phase separation), rendering the coating ruined and unusable.

Coating System Compatibility

  • Preceding Coats: Waterborne Acrylic Primer, Waterborne Epoxy Primer, Waterborne Zinc-Rich Primer, or Epoxy MIO (Micaceous Iron Oxide) Intermediate Paint.

  • System Constraint: Do not apply directly over aggressive solvent-borne coatings to prevent lifting or wrinkling (“paint biting”) of the undercoat.

Packaging Specifications

  • 20 kg / pail

Storage

  • Store this product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated indoor warehouse. Ensure protection against freezing and direct sunlight.

  • Avoid high-temperature exposure and sub-zero freezing. Maintain the storage temperature range between 5°C and 30°C. The shelf life is 12 months under normal standard temperature conditions.

Safety Precautions

  • This product is a waterborne coating and is safe and non-flammable. Maintain good ventilation throughout the application site.

  • Applicators must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including dust/mist masks, protective gloves, and safety goggles. Avoid prolonged inhalation of paint mist.

  • If paint contacts the skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If it splashes accidentally into the eyes, rinse immediately with a large volume of water and seek immediate medical attention. Clean all tools with tap water immediately after use.
