Air Products Introduces Ancarez(TM) AR555 Waterborne Epoxy Resin

Zero VOC Waterborne Epoxy Resin Offers Excellent Coalescing and Fast-Dry Properties

LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., Oct. 3 /-- Air Products (NYSE:APD) today introduced Ancarez(TM) AR555 waterborne epoxy resin for coatings applications. Ancarez AR555 epoxy resin is the only zero VOC waterborne epoxy resin to offer both excellent coalescing and fast-dry properties for floor coating, institutional coating, and OEM coating applications.

Ancarez AR555 epoxy resin's fast-dry performance allows for improved sandability and stackability for increased throughput and greater productivity while its enhanced coalescing enables uniform film formation.

"Ancarez AR555 epoxy resin is a unique addition to Air Products' line of zero VOC waterborne epoxy resins that performs as well or better than conventional solid resin dispersions that struggle to meet VOC regulations," said Curt Junge, epoxy additives North America market manager for Air Products.

Besides its unmatched level of zero VOCs and fast drying ability, Ancarez AR555 epoxy resin also offers improved stability for a longer shelf life and anti-corrosive attributes which make it an excellent choice for protective coatings.
