Trim paints

with NECOWELTM alkyd emulsions

Excellent performance,first-class application andenvironmental compatibility.
Tailor-made for you.

NECOWELTM
Trim paint systems

NECOWELTM can be used to formulate aqueous
trim paints that are of the same quality as conventional trim paints created using solvent-based
alkyd resins. It is free of both solvents and plasticizers and features good drying characteristics
and a high gloss. This gives rise to abinding agent for formulating VOC-free trim
paints with excellent flow properties.

Properties such as gloss, hardness, elasticityand weather resistance have top priority intrim paints and top coats. Water-based paints already meet these requirements. However, theusage of solvent-based paints is preferred withregard to flow properties.

Benefits

Compared to solvent-based systems with goodbrushability, conventional aqueous trim paints
have pseudoplastic viscosity behavior, i.e. after
the shear stress caused by brushing, the viscosity increases considerably and the paintbrushstrokes only spread insufficiently.
As a specialist in very efficient resin
emulsions for water-based trim
paints with excellent levelling, ASKChemicals offers a wide range of solutions forthis area. In addition to excellent perfor-• Improved flow behavior• Excellent levelling• Open time of 10 minutes• No further thickeners required• Rapid drying

ASK Chemicals has succeeded in improving theflow behavior of aqueous trim paints considerably through rheological modification of thealkyd emulsion. The Newtonian viscosity behavior
is comparable to those of a good solvent-basedsystem.

• Fast blocking resistance• High gloss finish• Smooth surface• VOC-freemance, highly efficient binding agents fromASK Chemicals also feature very goodenvironmental compatibility and top-classapplication properties. This makes them
