Acrylic Polymer
With on going advancements of technology we can truly spray liquid products that have the same strength as porcelain or marble an truly cross link at a cellular level. This is called top coats and Nano technology. We have the technology to resurface a bathtub the same way it use to be.
Our new Acrylic polyurethanes have the same or great hardness and strength as porcelain. Resurfacing is just as effective and extends the tubs life by over 25 years!
DRYING TIME:1 HOUR PER .20 MILS OF BUILD OF TOP COAT RESIN
CURE TIME: 24-72 STANDING HOURS
FROM COMPLETION TIME TILL USE:4-5 STANDING HRS

What is Aliphatic Acrylic Polymers?
We even paint cars with it.
WHAT IS IT???
Aliphatic polymer (PUR and PU) is polymer composed of a chain of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links.
Polyester polymers are formed by combining two bi- or higher functional monomers. One contains two or more isocyanate functional groups (with formula –N=C=O) and the other contains two or more hydroxyl groups (with formula –OH). The alcohol and the isocyanate groups combine to form a urethane linkage:
ROH + R'NCO → ROC(O)N(H)R' (R and R' are alkyl or aryl groups) This combining process, sometimes called condensation, typically requires the presence of a catalyst. More complicated monomers are also used.
Polyester are used in the manufacture of flexible, high-resilience foam seating; rigid foam insulation panels; microcellular foam seals and gaskets; durable elastomeric wheels and tires; automotive suspension bushings; electrical potting compounds; high performance adhesives; surface coatings and surface sealants; synthetic fibers (e.g., Spandex); carpet underlay; and hard-plastic parts (e.g., for electronic instruments).
Polyester is also used for the manufacture of hoses and skateboard wheels as it combines the best properties of both rubber and plastic.
An aqueous acrylic polyurethane polymer based on DESIGNED DIFFUSION™ Resin Technology, which offers a new paradigm in waterborne polymer film formation. It is an ambient self-crosslinking polymer and is manufactured without the use of NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone).

Acrylic Polyurethane Ultra Low VOC
MAP-LV
MAP-LV (Matthews Acrylic Polyurethane Ultra Low VOC) is designed to meet the most stringent VOC regulations while retaining the color range of our conventional product. In addition, this flexible high-solids, chemically cross-linked coating offers exceptional outdoor durability, UV and chemical resistance, and great impact, mar and abrasion resistance. This product can be applied over many properly prepared and primed substrates such as aluminum, steel, wood, or other existing coatings. MAP-LV is formulated to deliver less than 50g/L VOC in standard solid color applications. The use of metallics and/or special reducers will increase the VOC level slightly.
Features: Benefits:
· Ultra low VOC (< 50g/L at use) · Excellent color and gloss retention
· Durable yet flexible film · Great impact, mar and abrasion resistance
· Air dry or force-dry capable · Excellent chemical resistance
· Exceptional UV resistance
· Gloss and satin finishes
· Brush and roll capability (without additional additive requirement)
Compatible Surfaces
· Steel · Masonry · Brass, Bronze and Copper
· Aluminum · Fiberglass · Photopolymer
· Wood · Expanded PVC · Acrylic
· Previously painted surfaces (with proper prep)
