    Benefits
    • Easy to handle liquid due to the low viscosity
    • ADDAPT® PolySurF ACE improves adhesion to Polyolefin’s, Polyethylene Therephtalate and Polyvinylchloride.
    • Via the Glycidyl ester of Versatic 10 acid (CARDURA® E10 moiety), a secondary hydroxyl functional group is introduced, which can be used for crosslinking with melamine or isocyanate resins (automotive topcoats).
    • Two-pack systems based on ADDAPT® PolySurF ACE containing polymers show a very good potlife because the reactivity of the secondary OH group is not too high.
    • The bulky hydrocarbon group of the Versatic acid provides steric protection to the cured polymer against hydrolysis (good acid resistance), water repellence (hydrophobicity), and good gloss retention and provides excellent pigment wetting.
    • ADDAPT® PolySurF ACE can easily be copolymerised with other acrylic monomers and Styrene.
    • ADDAPT® PolySurF ACE is a very effective co-polymerisable defoamer for water based UV-curable systems where migration of the defoamer is undesirable.
