D-200 was created for the coating
of lineal extrusions (predominantly vinyl) for the Fenestration
Industry.The mechanical properties of D-200 are such
that a coated surface can withstand the processing through
an automated or semi-automated production line.
D-200 represents a very large step
forward in the development of water based coating technology
in general.
D-200 is produced by "reacting in" high performance.
Most coatings are produced by combining a commercially available
resin with a series of additives. D-200's high performance
is created by reacting (under high temperature and pressure)
over 25 ingredients to create one single molecular structure.
The resultant molecule can "sense" the surface
tension of the surface and align itself optimally with the
molecules of the substrate to create a bond based on "cohesion",
in contrast to bonds created through mechanical adhesion.
With an exceptionally low VOC
(volatile organic compound) of less than 20 grams per liter
, or 2.5 ounces per gallon , D-200 is decades ahead of even
the most aggressive environmental standards anywhere in the
world.
The exceptionally low VOC content guarantees that the coating
itself will not effect the surface chemistry of the vinyl
itself, thus providing no changes to the performance of the
vinyl (no brittleness developed over time).
The continued use of Inorganic Pigments provides exceptional
heat reflectance along with unparalleled long term color/gloss
retention.
D-200 produces bonds as good as high solvent coatings, while
offering a safer environment, superior performance and color
retention.
