Revolutionizing Direct-to-Metal Coatings with ESACOTE^® AC 509

Our portfolio for general industry and direct-to-metal applications features high-performance solutions such as VISCOLAM^® (waterborne rheology modifiers based on acrylic and urethane chemistries), ADIWAX (wax emulsions and dispersions), DECOSPHAERA^® and SPHEROMERS^® (polymeric matting and texturizing agents).

Today, we are proud to introduce ESACOTE^® AC 509, our first acrylic binder specifically designed for direct-to-metal and general industry applications. After several months of dedicated R&D, ESACOTE^® AC 509 stands out by achieving an impressive C5-MEDIUM corrosion classification with a paint thickness of just 90 microns, setting a new standard for performance in the industry.

Key Features of ESACOTE^® AC 509:

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Achieves C5 classification with minimal coating thickness.
• Superior Weathering Performance: Engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
• High-Gloss Finish: Delivers a sleek and polished appearance.
• Sustainable Innovation: co solvent free resin sutiable for low co solvent demand paints.

Our commitment doesn’t stop here. The R&D team is actively developing next-generation hydrophobic acrylic binders, aiming to enhance corrosion resistance and weathering durability for performing metal coating solutions.
