Aqua Dura Gard

Northern Coatings & Chemical Company has introduced Aqua Dura Gard High Performance Water Based Coating. When applied over properly prepared profiled surfaces the coating is easily capable of exceeding 700 hours of salt fog (ASTM B-117). Protection against corrosion, in most cases, is better than a conventional primer top coat system requiring a non-phosphate, non-chrome seal pretreatment. A dry film thickness of 1.1 mils minimum, as measured on smooth metal panels, is all that is required to achieve optimum performance and properties. This improved protection is achieved by using a one coat application which in turn results in cost savings. Aqua Dura Gard is versatile enough to be used as one coat or as a primer under a variety of top coat systems.

All automotive, truck and OEM applications for springs, axles, torsion bars, brackets, and other under hood components requiring excellent corrosion protection are candidates for coating with Aqua Dura Gard.

Unlike most high performance paints, Aqua Dura Gard is environmentally friendly as it contains very little organic solvent resulting in a low VOC content (0.9 lbs / gallon minus water). Aqua Dura Gard can be cured / dried at low temperatures (less than 200°F) which results in energy consumption savings and, in most cases, air drying is sufficient for proper cure performance. Also, it has no environmentally restricted components, has unlimited pot life, and easily cleans up with water.
