Building Blocks for Automotive Refinish Coatings

Hexion offers a powerful building block for automotive refinish coatings.

Nowadays, with stricter environmental rules and a push for safer applications, everyone's talking about lowering VOC levels and shifting to more eco-friendly water-based option. With Hexion’s Cardura™ E10P glycidyl ester, it is easy to produce low viscosity acrylic polyols (APO) that can be used to make low-VOC solvent borne and water based binders for 2K polyurethane refinish coatings.

And it’s not just about being eco-friendly (although that is incredibly important!) These coatings also provide performance advantages:

• A fantastic wet look
• A unique appearance, giving you excellent distinctness of image (DOI)
• A boost to UV stability and higher resistance to acid etching
• The ability to brave the elements with enhanced outdoor durability
• Enhanced substrate wetting for better results
