Thermoplastic acrylics are used in a variety of applications for metal, both directly (e. g. in Light Industrial) and as part of a multi-coat system (e. g. in Off-shore and Marine). Fast drying, water-white colour and good compatibility with other polymers as well as exterior durability are the properties which attract their use in coatings for metal protection.
