Bühler Nanotechnology presents Oxylink – the additive for better waterborne coatings. Oxylink increases and accelerates cross linking of 1-component waterborne resin formulations. Depending on the application it provides better blocking resistance, improved solvent and humidity resistance, better dirt pick up and efflorescence resistance. By shortening drying time and improving early resistance properties, Oxylink enables faster finishing and increased productivity. The effect of Oxylink on elastomeric waterborne acrylic formulas is presented in a paper at the co-located European Coatings Conference.
