NeoCryl XK-117 can be used as an alternative to solvent-borne coating technology for the construction and heavy machinery industry. Royal DSM has launched a new direct-to-metal (DTM) waterborne coating resin.
According to the company, NeoCryl XK-117 can be used as an alternative to solvent-borne coating technology for the construction and heavy machinery industry. It contains low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and has low odor, and, by enabling a direct-to-metal application, rather than requiring a two-stage application, The resin can enable energy-saving opportunities of up to 50% during forced drying processes, DSM says, adding that the resin also makes coatings with higher levels of durability. It has a solid content level of 50%, making it suitable for high-build coatings.
