The AkzoNobel team will be on deck in Tampa Convention Center booths 1224 and 1226 at next week’s International Boatbuilders Exposition and Conference (IBEX) to talk with show attendees about premium products in the Awlgrip® and Interlux® ranges.
Awlgrip® Awlcraft SE
Awlcraft SE is a revolutionary topcoat encompassing metallics, pearls and effect pigments and is fast drying with excellent opacity. It is designed to work as one layer of a multi-part system. The Awlcraft SE imparts the color and effect and is then top coated with a clear high gloss finish topcoat to give gloss and protection. This combination forms a high performance, high gloss, durable topcoat system.
Available for new custom or production builds, or refits, the Awlcraft SE range offers owners a great choice from over thousands of standard colors, as well as custom colors to match any color imaginable.
Awlgrip® Awlcat #5 Low VOC converter for Awlcraft 2000
Fast-drying, easy to apply Awlcat #5 is an optimized, easy to use spray converter with reduced VOC content, for use with Awlcraft 2000 topcoats. When Awlcat #5 is used in conjunction with Awlcraft 2000, the result is an improved look over the already outstanding finish.
Awlcat #5 is used and mixed with Awlcraft 2000 topcoat bases in the same way as the standard converter, so there’s no change to the way you work.
