Full waterbased binder solutions
for superior quality exterior paints

Water based binder solutions
  • Binders: COL.9® (hybrid technology), Acronal® DS 6258 (styrene acrylic), Acronal® S 790 (styrene acrylic), Acronal® A 754 (pure acrylic), Acronal® A 684 (pure acrylic)
  • Application: Exterior paints

> Key Benefits

  • Self-cleaning & anti-ageing for facades (COL.9®)
  • Reduced dirt pick-up (Acronal® DS 6258)
  • Superior whitening resistance (Acronal® A 754)
  • Universal adhesion on many substrates (Acronal® A 684)

The Challenge

The first requirement for exterior paints is an excellent hiding power to avoid the need of applying multiple layers. Furthermore, exterior paints must meet several requirements such as durability (anti-ageing and color retention) and adhesion on various substrates. On top of that health and safety are key concerns which lead to a higher need of eco-friendly resins (low VOC).

The Solution

No matter the technical features formulators are looking for, BASF's comprehensive portfolio of emulsions allows them to:
  • Enhance the performances of their coatings according to their needs
  • Use the most appropriate binder technology between hybrid, styrene or pure acrylic
Below are comparisons of several BASF binders demonstrating specific benefits:
  • Maximum durability, thanks to the enhanced self-cleaning and anti-ageing capability of COL.9® and better wet scrub resistance of Acronal® DS 6258
  • Excellent color retention with deep-tone paints through the higher whitening resistance of Acronal® A 754
  • Easy application on multiple types of substrate with the universal adhesion properties of Acronal® A 684
Anti-ageing
Anti ageing for COL.9® demonstration
