The innovative alkyd latex chemistry behind Aroplaz AQ™ brings all the features you expect from an

alkyd: ease of application, high gloss and excellent flow and leveling all without the use of solvents. Alkyd

latex chemistry also provides the foundation for a stable resin and formulated coating system. These low

molecular weight (MW) and low glass transition temperature (Tg) resins eliminate the need for coalescing

solvents and exhibit both a visual and performance advantage compared to acrylic latex alternatives.

The Aroplaz AQ™ series of resins is capable of achieving high gloss values rivaling a solventborne

alkyd and far exceeding an acrylic latex. They are also easily flattened for a variety of sheens.

Aroplaz AQ™ 101 offers outstanding durability in a multitude of applications. After three years

of exterior horizontal exposure on Copper Azole treated decking, Aroplaz AQ™ 101 retains the

natural warm color of the wood and surpasses a best-selling commercially available

waterborne semi-transparent stain. Exterior exposures on wood or cementitious substrates

show eventual film failure by means of erosion, not flaking, peeling or loss of adhesion.
