REAFREE® saturated carboxylated polyester for low-temperature cure powder coatings
Arkema offers a range of REAFREE® resins for the formulation of low and ultra-low temperature cure powder coatings (<135-160 degrees C). Coatings made with these resins can potentially exhibit performance comparable to standard cure resins in a wide range of applications.
Properly formulated, REAFREE® resins allow for increased costs savings, sustainability benefits (lower energy consumption), faster curing times and longer-lasting durable coatings. Additionally, formulators can achieve highly durable coatings for use on heat-sensitive substrates such as light metals, wood and medium density fiberboard (MDF).
Applications include:
- Furniture
- Automotive parts
- Agriculture and construction equipment
- Architectural coating
- Corrosion resistant coatings
- General industrial coatings
- I.T. equipment coatings
