SYNTRAN® WA 1065 is based on a patented acrylic olefin graft technology. This unique incorporation of olefin into the backbone of the acrylic avoids natural migration of the generally lower-density wax to the surface during drying, resulting in better compatibility of the wax with acrylic systems and more uniform film application. Depending on the application and the objective, SYNTRAN® WA 1065 is typically used in concentrations between 2% and 10%. Features and Benefits: Non-yellowing, low-slip additive High compatibility and stability in multiple formulation types Anti-block, improved wear and water resistance Zero VOC requirements to formulate coating. Patented acrylic olefin graft technology. This unique incorporation of olefin onto the backbone of the acrylic provides a high coefficient of static friction, slip resistance, burnishing resistance and UV stability (non yellowing).
