Avicor 384
Avicor 384
Avicor® 384 is a small particle size APE-free vinyl acrylic that is designed for use in interior flat through semi-gloss paints. The combination of high molecular weight, hardness and flexibility produces paint films with superior toughness, gloss and durability. The small particle size provides excellent thickening response when used with associative thickeners and the product is compatible with many other polymers and coalescents.
Features & Benefits
- APE-free and no added formaldehyde or formaldehyde donors
- Excellent scrub and stain resistance
- Low VOC capable (<10 g/l) with the use of a low VOC coalescent
- Excellent touch-up
- Wide formulation window from flat to semi-gloss sheens without the need for a modifying polymer to harden the paint film
