AROLON® 5900 is an acrylic polyol emulsion designed to be reacted with polyisocyanate. State-of-the-art twocomponent waterborne finishes can be formulated with AROLON® 5900 that offer excellent gloss with high distinctness of image (DOI) and can be applied in thick films (up to 3 to 5 dry mils). Very low VOC (~0.4 lb./gal.), easy dispersing (i.e., low shear or hand mixable) paint systems can be made for industrial maintenance, light industrial applications, DOT topcoats, or rail car topcoats. These coatings also demonstrate excellent flexibility while developing good hardness and good chemical resistance.
