It is used in water-based industrial coatings, arts and crafts, automotive OEM, concrete protection, general industrial finishes, general OEM, industrial maintenance, integrally colored concrete, aqueous wood coatings, marine and protective coatings. It provides excellent performance through the ease of incorporation and resistance to flooding/floating as well as flocculation. It exhibits improved water resistance, block resistance and excellent color control for in-plant tinting of architectural coatings. It consists of a low-molecular-weight, automotive type, alkali-soluble acrylic resin dissolved in water that provides excellent pigment wetting. It has alkaline pH and makes possible high pigment concentrations at relatively low mill base solids levels. The tinting strength of the colorant is controlled to ±2% of the standard. It is compatible with acrylic/PVA emulsions, water-reducible polyester/epoxies, water-soluble alkyds and urethanes as well as with very low VOC and VOC coating systems. Chroma-chem® UCD® 5940E offers alkali resistance and is suitable for use in both nonionic as well as anionic paint systems. It has a shelf life of 3 years.
