Excalibur's latest advancement in the going green coatings market is the development of Aqua - Thane, patent pending, 2K water-borne acrylic polyurethane technology. Aqua - Thane has been the main project of Excalibur's Research & Development laboratory for the last eight years. This product may very well prove to be one of the greatest technological advances for the heavy duty industrial coatings sector in decades.

Test results to date have concluded that this environmentally friendly, low VOC (less than 50 grams/liter) HAPS free system meets or exceeds the performance properties of high performance solvent-borne systems without the associated health and safety hazards. Film build of 4 - 8 mils wet is easily achieved without foaming, gassing or flow problems. Aqua - Thane exhibits exceptional depth of image, abrasion, solvent and chemical resistance including Skydrol, yet maintains hardness and is flexible. It has remarkable adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces including steel, aluminum, galvanized metals (both electroplated and hot - dipped), and various stainless steel, PVC and carbon/fiberglass composites. For ferrous and non-ferrous substrate, abrasive blasting is not required prior to application.
