Polyurethanes based on aliphatic polyisocyanates are well known for their outstanding properties, especially exceptional resistance to weathering. Easy-mixing Easaqua™ polyisocyanates save time and hassle during coating formulation and enable faster drying, higher performing and more environmentally friendly coatings for wood, plastic, metal and concrete.
The Easaqua™ aliphatic polyisocyanates offer the added benefits of easier mixing and faster drying time, thereby streamlining production, reducing dust problems, improving film appearance and increasing productivity.
The prime solution for 1K and 2K waterborne systems
The self-emulsifiable polyisocyanates in our Easaqua™ range are hydrophilically modified for easy incorporation into water without requiring any high speed mixing equipment. As cross-linkers of two-pack (2K) formulations, they give excellent miscibility, fast drying, high gloss, low odor and low viscosity. Faster drying gives better hardness and improved stackability, while reduced dust problems result in higher application efficiency and fewer film defects.
The ideal choice for many applications
This makes the Easaqua™ range the ideal choice for durable wood coatings, soft-feel plastic coatings, metal coatings for general industry, concrete coatings, automotive repair coatings and coatings for transportation and agricultural equipment.
“The key benefits of the Easaqua™ polyisocyanates are their ease of use, robustness and good compatibility with a lot of formulations, together with high performance. They show excellent film appearance, coupled with high durability chemical resistance and mechanical properties,” says Perstorp’s BU Director for HDI Industrial Coatings, Dr. Eric Aubay.
And since the Easaqua™ range is so widely compatible, formulators enjoy greater design freedom in creating, for example, primers, clear coats and pigmented topcoats, while keeping costs to a minimum.
Easaqua™, at the forefront of low-VOC emissions
Easaqua™ products make it easy for formulators to create ultra low-VOC and APEO-free coatings that meet the ever-growing demands and global regulations for environmental protection. Our Easaqua™ products meet these global regulations and are registered with EINECS (Europe), TSCA (USA), DSL (Canada), ENCS (Japan, MITI agency), ECL (South Korea), AICS (Australia) and China.
Formerly marketed as Rhodocoat™, Easaqua™ became part of our offer in 2007 through the acquisition of the specialty chemicals business of Rhodia Organics and Lyondell Chimie. New Product Data Sheets (PDS), Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), brochures and technical leaflets for Easaqua™ are now available.
The Easaqua™ range is registered worldwide and includes self-emulsifiable polyisocyanates, Easaqua™ WT 2102, Easaqua™ X M 501, Easaqua™ X M 502, Easaqua™ X D 401 and Easaqua™ X D 803, as well as an emulsion of blocked polyisocyanate, Easaqua™ WT 1000.
