Arkema awarded Pierre Potier prize for Kynar Aquatec
The objective of the research teams was to develop a technology to apply PVDF-based coatings by spraying directly onto existing buildings. The Kynar Aquatec® innovation consists in developing a PVDF latex paint as an aqueous emulsion, capable of forming a film at ambient temperature through a new process combining PVDF polymerization and acrylic polymerization. This innovation features the ease of application of a solvent-free aqueous paint, combined with the outstanding durability and reflectivity of Kynar® PVDF coatings. Being able to apply a PVDF paint like a traditional acrylic paint (i.e. without any heat treatment) therefore helps extend the use of the Kynar® coating to the construction or renovation of all types of buildings, whatever the shape and nature of roof and siding: metal, cement, asphalt sheeting or even wood
