TOPCOATS - AWLGRIP® & AWLCRAFT® 2000
BEYOND JUST GOOD LOOKING
Awlgrip manufactures two different topcoats to
meet the needs of a dynamic market. The
Awlgrip topcoat uses a polyester urethane
resin, whilst Awlcraft 2000 uses an acrylic
resin. The difference is molecular size.
Polyester molecules are much smaller than
acrylic molecules. A given volume of
polyester resin contains many more
molecules than the same volume of acrylic
resin. Thus the polyester has more reaction
sites than the acrylic. When both are fully
crosslinked, the polyester forms a tighter,
tougher film. The more dense crosslinking
provides a harder, more abrasion resistant
film, with better chemical resistance than the
acrylic film.
High crosslink density yields better chemical
and abrasion resistance. It also yields a rigid
film. In today’s marketplace there is a need
for both acrylic and polyester urethane
technology. Both resins will resist staining
and provide long lasting gloss.
Application characteristics, chemical and stain
resistance, repairability, and cure times all
need to be considered when choosing a
urethane.
Polyester Urethane Topcoat
• High performance urethane topcoat systems.
• Recognized world-wide for 30 years.
• Full product range of coating systems for all substrates.
• Can be applied by spray or brush/roll.
• Premium acrylic urethane topcoat.
• Superior flow-out and high gloss.
• Ease of application.
Acrylic Urethane Topcoat
TOPCOAT SYSTEMS CARE ABOVE THE WATERLINE
HOW THEY WORK
Crosslinked, two component polyurethanes
dry when the solvent evaporates. Then they
cure as the components react to form the
urethane molecule. The more crosslinks, the
more durable the final finish. But keep in
mind, a longer cure time is needed for the
coatings to reach this durable, final finish.
Coatings with a relatively long cure time
allow the pigments to migrate toward the
substrate. A resin-rich wear layer forms,
much like the clear urethane film on a
“no wax” floor.
This resin-rich layer provides long term
protection for the pigment particles, improves
color and gloss retention, and provides the
deep gloss associated with high quality
urethanes.
THERE’S A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH
Be cautioned however! Choose the topcoat
you require for your project first, then
investigate the primer system to support the
topcoat performance. AWLGRIP offers a
complete line of chemically compatible
primers, fairing compounds and surfacers
to support its topcoats.
