Product Details

PARALOID AU-608S, PARALOID AU-608X, and PARALOID AU-608B are acrylic polyols specifically designed to produce hard, resistant, durable coatings when reacted with aliphatic isocyanates. The exceptional properties of these coatings have led to increased use in such heavy-duty maintenance applications as chemical plant storage tanks and offshore rigs and platforms. 

Coatings based on PARALOID AU-608S, AU-608X or AU-608B resin:

  • Retain gloss and tint, thereby reducing the need to repaint
  • Maintain film integrity when exposed to corrosive chemicals
  • Provide long-lasting protection because of abrasion and crack resistance
  • Cure at low temperatures
