Arkema has enhanced its Kynar® ADX range with Kynar®
ADX 111, a new grade capable of adhering to metals without the need for
an adhesion primer.
Kynar® ADX 111 offers a cost-effective solution which
also makes life easier for processors.
Kynar® ADX 111 is the only coating entirely formulated
from a fluorinated polymer requiring no adhesion primer. This coating
process using Kynar® ADX 111 stands out by its straightforward application
and its effectiveness: Kynar® ADX 111 may be applied by electrostatic
dusting or by fluidised bed coating to produce highly adhesive coatings
with a small thickness (under 200 microns) on substrates such as steel
and aluminum.
In addition to its remarkable adhesive performance, the
chemical nature of Kynar® ADX 111 also ensures outstanding chemical
stability, therefore making it insensitive to corrosion, solvents and
the decay caused by most chemicals.
Kynar® ADX 111 furthermore exhibits excellent mechanical
properties as well as good thermal stability (up to 130°C).
Thanks to its specific characteristics and outstanding properties, the
new Kynar® ADX 111 is therefore highly suitable both for the external
anticorrosion coating of various parts and for the lining of hollow vessels
designed to contain chemical agents.
Other technical solutions can also be used:
- In the coextrusion process, the Kynar® ADX
resin can be combined with most polymers (polyethylene, polyamide, polyester,
etc.) to ensure optimum performance synergy, in particular in terms of
mechanical, chemical and barrier properties.
- In processes requiring solvents, the Kynar® ADX resin dissolves
to be used on metals with or without additives, for example as an excellent
adhesion primer or as a binder.
The Kynar® trademark belongs to Arkema Group companies.
A global chemical player, Arkema combines 3 related and
integrated business segments: Vinyl Products, Industrial Chemicals, and
Performance Products. Present in over 40 countries with 18400 employees,
Arkema achieves sales of 5.7 billion euros (2005). It has research centers
in France, the United States and Japan.
