Allnex DUROFTAL AQ-803 Polyester Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application area for DUROFTAL AQ-803?

A: DUROFTAL AQ-803 is a waterborne polyester resin specifically developed for high-performance, low-VOC industrial coatings—particularly coil and metal packaging coatings where excellent corrosion resistance, flexibility, and adhesion to pretreated metals are required.


Q2: Is DUROFTAL AQ-803 compatible with common crosslinkers used in aqueous systems?

A: Yes, it is formulated to be compatible with standard melamine-formaldehyde resins and alternative formaldehyde-free crosslinkers such as blocked polyisocyanates, enabling formulation flexibility for both ambient-cure and thermal-cure applications.


Q3: How does DUROFTAL AQ-803 contribute to film formation and substrate adhesion?

A: Its tailored molecular architecture promotes coalescence in waterborne films and strong interfacial interaction with zinc- or chrome-passivated steel substrates, resulting in robust dry-film integrity and excellent resistance to chipping and underfilm corrosion.


Q4: Can DUROFTAL AQ-803 be used in formulations targeting food-contact compliance?

A: While DUROFTAL AQ-803 itself is not pre-certified for food contact, its composition avoids intentionally added heavy metals or regulated plasticizers; final compliance depends on full formulation evaluation against applicable regional regulatory frameworks.
