Our coatings are cross-linked waterborne polyurethane-acrylic
coatings available in clear or colour format. This high performance
exterior protective finish coat is formulated for superior
adhesion and colour retention.
| • |
Provides total surface protection and adheres
directly to architectural materials such as: Aluminium,
Steel (galvanized & stainless), Fibreglass, PVC, Masonry
surfaces.
|
| • |
Clear coat revitalizes faded (oxidized)
surfaces and protects factory-finished surfaces.
|
| • |
Minimal surface preparation: Wash with
biodegradable soap (AST decontaminator) and rinse with
water.
|
| • |
Very flexible, not effected by freeze and
thaw cycles.
|
| • |
Low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions
<250 g/l.
|
| • |
Isocyanate-free.
|
| • |
Fluorocarbon-free.
|
| • |
Environmentally and user friendly.
|
| • |
Superior adhesion and durability.
|
| • |
Air-dried. High temperature curing not
required.
|
| • |
Approximately 70% lighter (DFT) than conventional
solvent-based paints.
|
| • |
Minimal odour.
|
| • |
Water cleanable.
|
| • |
Less wear and tear on equipment.
|
| • |
Minimal over spray with HVLP equipment.
|
| • |

Competitive Advantages
Include:
When it comes to performance, cost, and environmental compliance,
products from other paint and coating manufacturers cannot
successfully compete with AST D45.
AST D45 contains less than 250 grams/litre of VOC, which means
AST D45 meets all current and forthcoming International regulations
for Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions.
When applied by High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) spraying equipment,
AST D45 has extremely high transfer efficiency. Since more
coating is transferred to the surface, lower loss and larger
coverage area per litre are achieved. AST D45 saves the applicator
money in coating cost.
Second and third coats can be applied minutes apart, resulting
in unprecedented turn-around time. And, the end user reduces
their shutdown expenses due to the shortened project completion
time, another important, cost-effective characteristic of
AST D45!
In certified independent laboratory testing, as well as field
tests, AST D45 exhibits excellent thermal stability. With
a very high coefficient of linear expansion, the coating will
expand and contract with the coated surface. Because AST D45
remains flexible, sudden temperature changes, common in North
America and Europe, pose no threat to the integrity of the
coating.
In field applications throughout the world, including the
UK, Ireland, Greece, Turkey, South Africa, Australia, New
Zealand, as well as a number of locations throughout Canada
and the US, AST D45 has proven to withstand over ten years
of ultraviolet radiation without degradation.
Our product also meets specification requirements for use
in "clean room" environments such as operating rooms,
laboratories, and micro-component assembly areas.
Both the United States Food & Drug Administration and
the Food Production & Inspection Branch of Agriculture
Canada have approved AST D45 for use on architectural surfaces
in food processing
