Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-10-101

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-10-101 is a water-borne, matte black, chemically resistant coating designed especially for resistance to exterior exposures encountered in automotive applications. A crosslinking agent must be added prior to this coating in order to achieve the desired chemical resistance. The pot life after cross-linker addition is three days. The base polymer for this application is an acrylate block copolymer. Cross-linking is via pendant carboxyl groups, which also enhance the metal adhesion.

Typical Use

Automotive applications or other application requiring high resistance to various fluids and solvents

Coating Method

The coating may be applied by gravure, wire wound bar or nip fed reverse roll coater. Small parts or unique shapes may be sprayed, rolled, or brush coated. Additional water may be added to enhance process ability. It is essential that total coverage of the aluminum be attained to provide good chemical protection of the metal.

Clean Up

Washing with water will easily clean the wet coating. The dry coating may require a toluene wash. Toluene is a flammable solvent and must be used according to OSHA safety standards.
