Acid Catalysed Coatings

(8 products)

When you need to protect your high-traffic surfaces, our Acid catalysed (AC) coatings deliver a hard-wearing and fast-drying product that gives a superb finish. Acid catalysed coatings use a weak acid catalyst to cure the paint and lacquer components within the systems to create an extremely durable coating that will retain its colour. AC coatings are essential when it comes to protecting surfaces that have a lot of wear and tear, like doorways, window frames or counter tops.

Although our AC Coatings are robust and hard-wearing, they offer a sleek and smooth finish that means you can count on it for public commercial spaces, like cafes and restaurants. These AC Coatings are so durable they can be used for extremely high-use purpose surfaces, such as residential doors and woodwork, where use is around the clock.

At Ultrimax UK and Ireland, we know that our AC Coatings are second to none because we only stock our own brand – and we’re very proud of our hard-wearing products.

While the two-component system requires precision mixing with the catalyst before application, Ultrimax can supply every product that you need to get start coating – including easy access to our Ultrimax Paint Shop experts. We’ll ensure that your project can count on a coating that cures effectively to deliver long-lasting results.

AC coatings are resistant to chemicals and moisture, offering an added layer of defence against environmental factors to ensure that they maintain their appearance and performance over time, making them a trusted choice for professional applications.

What PPE is required when using an acid-catalysed coating?

It is essential to use the correct PPE when spraying and acid catalysed coating due to the presence of strong solvents. This type of coating can pose health risks if not adequately protected.
