NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Chemcraft, a brand from AkzoNobel for industrial wood finishers and craftsmen, has launched Acquaduro, a 2K polyurethane waterborne system that delivers water and chemical resistance, while also being low VOC, low odor and virtually free of HAPs.

The finish is specifically for the furniture, cabinet, architectural millwork and refinish markets.

Available as a clear or pigmented tintable system consisting of a topcoat, primer and hardener, Acquaduro is easy to apply, according to AkzoNobel, offering sandability without a recoat window. The clear topcoat (423-34XX) can be used with Chemcraft stains, while the pigmented product (228-34XX) has high solids and a hide that allows for better ease of application.

“Acquaduro provides our distributors and their customers with a waterborne technology that not only outperforms Architectural Woodwork Institute waterborne testing, but also performs comparably to solvent borne products,” said Ron Cooper, segment manager of wood coatings. “It supports the need for a chemical resistant, durable, and sustainable coating for the custom woodworking and refinish markets.”

As a waterborne product, Acquaduro also helps to reduce air emissions and meets the relevant government regulations, in line with AkzoNobel’s ‘People. Planet. Paint’ approach to sustainable business.
