NPU CORONATE AQ-200 Waterborne Curing Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of waterborne resins is NPU CORONATE AQ-200 compatible with?

A: NPU CORONATE AQ-200 is specifically designed for use with aqueous polyacrylates, polyurethane dispersions (PUDs), and hybrid latex systems. It provides efficient crosslinking in neutral to mildly alkaline formulations and is not recommended for highly acidic or strongly cationic systems without prior compatibility testing.


Q2: How does AQ-200 affect pot life and film formation in waterborne coatings?

A: As a blocked aliphatic isocyanate curing agent, AQ-200 offers extended pot life at ambient temperatures—typically several hours depending on formulation pH, co-solvent content, and catalyst presence. Film formation proceeds via thermal activation, with full crosslinking generally achieved above 80 °C; lower-temperature cure is possible with appropriate catalysts and extended dwell time.


Q3: Is AQ-200 suitable for low-VOC or zero-VOC coating systems?

A: Yes—AQ-200 is a water-dispersible, non-solvent-based curing agent with negligible VOC contribution. When formulated with compliant waterborne binders and minimal co-solvents, it supports the development of low-VOC architectural, industrial, and wood coatings meeting major regional regulatory expectations for waterborne systems.
