Natural materials like wood enjoy growing popularity in the furnishing sector – a trend, that is reflected by furniture and floorings showing visible, contrasting wood grains.
Traditionally, this effect is supported by solvent-based wood coatings, which are very effective in terms of performance. EU legislation and changing consumer expectations have led the value chain to look for more sustainable alternatives.
BASF developed the new Joncryl 953X portfolio for water-based 1K systems to protect and highlight the beauty of wood while meeting sustainability needs.
The Joncryl 953X portfolio includes five straight acrylic dispersions. All of them are multi-purpose and fine-particle sized.
The products fulfill key performance characteristics for wood coatings such as excellent resistance to chemicals, scratch resistance, hardness and blocking resistance as well as high wet transparency and in-can clarity.
Additionally, customers can choose products with low to zero co-solvent demand.
The flexible Joncryl 953X portfolio:
- Joncryl 9530: Excellent grain enhancement and chemical resistance;
- Joncryl 9531: Optimal balance between blocking and chemical resistance;
- Joncryl 9532: Excellent blocking, chemical and scratch resistance;
- Joncryl 9533: Excellent early blocking resistance and 0% co-solvent demand;
- Joncryl 9534: Great blend partner for enhancing blocking resistance and hardness.
