Acrylics can either be lacquers or reactive systems. They have excellent clarity, UV resistance, and have hard finishes. They are either air-dry or baked systems. Specializing in the manufacturing of acrylic coatings & paints for substrates ranging from plastics of all types to glass to wood to all metals, both primed & un-primed. Features include UV resistance, hardness & excellent clarity. Offer both air dry & baked systems. Applications include music, sport, aircraft, cosmetic & leisure industries Lacquers using acrylic resin, a synthetic polymer, were developed in the 1950s. Acrylic resin is colourless, transparent thermoplastic, obtained by the polymerization of derivatives of acrylic acid. Acrylic is also used in enamels, which have the advantage of not needing to be buffed to obtain a shine. Enamels, however, are slow drying. The advantage of acrylic lacquers, which was recognized by General Motors, is an exceptionally fast drying time. The use of lacquers in automobile finishes was discontinued when tougher, more durable, weather- and chemical-resistant two-component polyurethane coatings were developed. The system usually consists of a primer, colour coat and clear topcoat, commonly known as clear coat finishes. It is extensively used for wooden finishing.

Custom is what we do best! If you are looking for a solution rather than a stock answer, our approach to supplying our customers is a perfect fit. Since Wurdack is a small specialty coatings company, we must work harder and smarter to compete against the big guys. Our emphasis is on providing real value to our customers for their coating needs. There is no attempt to put a square peg into a round hole. A customer's environmental compliance needs are considered along with the production requirements and the performance specifications of the coating. We work with our customers as a team to develop precisely what they need. After the product is developed we can assist in implementing the coating system. This can involve design and consultation of a paint line in addition to assistance in the interpretation of local environmental regulations with regard to permitting and conversion to a compliant system.

hey are Thermoset polymers, which are primarily used for primers and interior coatings. They exhibit excellent hardness, abrasion, water and chemical resistance. They can either be epoxy enamels, two-component epoxies or baking epoxies. "2 part waterborne epoxy coatings" are used as ambient cure epoxy coatings. These non-hazardous, two-part epoxy coatings are developed for heavy duty service on metal substrates and use less energy than heat-cured powder coatings. These systems use a more attractive 4:1 by volume mixing ratio. The epoxy coating dries quickly providing a tough, UV resistant, protective coating with excellent ultimate hardness, and good mar and abrasion resistance. They are designed for rapid dry protective coating applications. Ambient cure 2 Part waterborne epoxy coatings provide excellent physical properties in exterior applications. These products have excellent adhesion to various metal substrates. Their low volatility and water clean up makes them a natural choice for factory cast iron, cast steel, cast aluminum applications and reduces exposure and flammability issues associated with solvent-borne coatings. They are usually used for industrial and automotive uses as they are high heat resistant (as latex-based and alkyd-based paints usually burn, thus peel, with slight high heat temperatures). Polyester epoxies are used as powder coatings for washers, driers and other "white goods". Fusion Bonded Epoxy Powder Coatings (FBE) are extensively used for corrosion protection of steel pipes and fittings used in the oil and gas industry, potable water transmission pipelines (steel), concrete reinforcing rebar, etc. Epoxy coatings are also widely used as primers to improve the adhesion of automotive and marine paints especially on metal surfaces where corrosion (rusting) resistance is important. Metal cans and containers are often have an epoxy coating to prevent rusting, especially for foods like tomatoes that are acidic. Epoxy resins are also used for high performance and decorative flooring applications especially terazzo flooring, chip flooring and colored aggregate flooring. Specialize in the manufacturing of epoxy coatings & paints which are thermoset polymers used for primers & interior coatings. Features include hardness, abrasion, water & chemical resistance. Can be epoxy enamels, two-component epoxies & baking epoxies. Applications include music, sport, aircraft, cosmetic & leisure industries.

Cellulosics are types of lacquers consisting of nitro-cellulose, ethyl cellulose, or cellulose acetate butyrate. They have excellent clarity and dry very quickly. They are generally used for fine furniture coatings and aircraft finishes. They can be used for substrates ranging from plastics of all types to glass to wood to all metals, both primed & un-primed & for fine furniture coatings, & aircraft finishes. Quick-drying solvent-based lacquers that contain nitrocellulose, a resin obtained from the nitration of cotton and other cellulostic materials, were developed in the early 1920s, and extensively used in the automobile industry for 30 years. These lacquers are also used on wooden products, furniture primarily, and on musical instruments and other objects. The nitrocellulose and other resins and plasticizers are dissolved in the solvent, and each coat of lacquer dissolves some of the previous coat. These lacquers were a huge improvement over earlier automobile and furniture finishes, both in ease of application, and in colour retention. The preferred method of applying quick-drying lacquers is by spraying, and the development of nitrocellulose lacquers led to the first extensive use of spray guns. Nitrocellulose lacquers produce a very hard yet flexible, durable finish that can be polished to a high sheen. Drawbacks of these lacquers include the hazardous nature of the solvent, which is flammable, volatile and toxic; and the handling hazards of nitrocellulose in the lacquer manufacturing process. Lacquer grade of soluble nitrocellulose is closely related to the more highly nitrated form which is used to make explosives.
