    ACRODUR formaldehyde-free acrylic binders ACRODUR formaldehyde-free acrylic binders
    #BASFtrending

    ACRODUR® products are high-performance water-based acrylic binders for natural, synthetic and fiberglass nonwovens and replace traditional formaldehyde-containing or solvent-based resins such as melamine, urea and phenol formaldehyde to enable safe, simple and ecological handling. ACRODUR thermosetting acrylic resin technology not only optimizes finished product performance, but also allows manufacturers to supply low-VOC emitting products, supports indoor air quality (IAQ), helps to reduce plant emissions and saves cost.

    ACRODUR resins are suitable for a broad range of application techniques, including full bath impregnation, foam impregnation, blow-line impregnation, spraying, casting, and blending. Acrodur can be combined with water, other binders, surfactants, wetting agents, pigments, light stabilizers and flame retardants.
