Nuplex unveiled the latest technological breakthrough in coatings, Acure, an innovative technology that will significantly benefit manufacturers around the world, the company reported.
Manufacturers traditionally need to balance the dry time of a coating, with the time at which the paint becomes unusable, referred to as its pot life. Nuplex’s research and development teams around the globe have decoupled this adverse relationship to produce Acure.
Acure harnesses leading edge chemistry giving paint and coating formulators the ability to dial in fast dry times with remarkably long pot lives. When used in coatings applied in large-scale manufacturing processes Acure has the potential to reduce manufacturing times significantly.
Nuplex’s CEO Emery Severin says Nuplex scientists started working on the technology in 2007 and have developed a system that has potential to be used in almost all the different industrial coatings markets.
Acure is being introduced immediately in Europe and America, then in Asia and ANZ towards the end of 2015.
Acure offers increased comfort for workers applying coatings that use the Acure technology because it is low VOC (volatile organic compound) and is isocyanate and tin free. This is good news for workers and the environment.
In addition to working conditions and environmental benefits, manufacturers that use paints and coatings with Acure will benefit from enhanced efficiency, less wastage in application and greater flexibility when operating at low temperatures. Acure is currently being trialed in a number of market segments including agriculture and construction equipment and protective coating markets.
