Q1: What types of waterborne resins is NPU CORONATE AQ-105 compatible with?
A: NPU CORONATE AQ-105 is specifically designed for use with waterborne polyurethane dispersions (PUDs), acrylic emulsions, and hybrid acrylic-polyurethane systems. It provides efficient crosslinking while maintaining colloidal stability in aqueous formulations.
Q2: How does AQ-105 affect pot life and film formation in waterborne coatings?
A: AQ-105 offers extended pot life at ambient temperature due to its controlled reactivity with water, allowing practical mixing and application windows. Film formation proceeds via coalescence followed by gradual crosslinking, resulting in improved hardness, chemical resistance, and block resistance without compromising flexibility.
Q3: Is special handling or neutralization required before adding AQ-105 to a formulation?
A: No neutralization is needed. AQ-105 is supplied as a stable, non-ionic aqueous dispersion and can be incorporated directly into most pH-stabilized waterborne systems (typically pH 7.5–9.0) under mild agitation. Avoid highly acidic conditions (pH < 6) to prevent premature hydrolysis.
Q4: Can AQ-105 be used in low-VOC or zero-VOC coating systems?
A: Yes — AQ-105 contains no organic solvents and generates only water and small amounts of inert byproducts upon curing, making it well-suited for low-VOC and zero-VOC compliant waterborne industrial and architectural coatings.
