Performance
Exceptionally fast drying time
Traffic paints formulated with ACRONAL Xpress 4347 exhibit exceptionally fast drying. No-pick-up time is observed after four minutes and 30 seconds, which exceeds industry standard of 10 minutes (ASTM D711*).
Excellent latex and paint stability
Formulations using ACRONAL Xpress 4347 perform exceptionally in heat and freeze thaw stability tests compared to commercially available traffic marking paint.
| ACRONAL Xpress 4347 | Competitive latex A | Competitive latex B | Commercial traffic paint | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heat stability (50°C/ 2 weeks), KU change | 1.8 | gelled | 7.8 | 3.8 |
| Freeze-thaw (-18°C/ 3 cycles), KU change | 2.1 | 1.8 | 0.9 | gelled |
Superior scrub resistance
Formulations can exhibit excellent scrub resistance properties for high durability when using this resin. The formulation performs over 2000 cycles in scrub resistance exceeding the industry standard of 500 cycles**. When compared to traffic paint formulated with the industry leading competitive latex, formulations with ACRONAL Xpress 4347 have equivalent scrub resistance properties.
