Acrylic 6430
NEOCAR™ Acrylic 6430 is an ultra-small particle size hydrophobic dispersion with ambient cured selfcrosslinking.
It is designed for use in clear sealers and concrete floor coatings. It is recommended for both, manually and
industrially applied floor coatings, for interior and exterior use. (e.g. garages, parking areas and warehouses). The
use in combination with a concrete primer is recommended.
Features
• Self-crosslinking
• Excellent hydrophobicity
• Ultra-small particle size
• Excellent durability
• Good workability and application properties
• Excellent chemical and hot tire resistance
• Good abrasion resistance
• Good dry and wet adhesion

Dispersants
• Polyacrylic dispersants like Dispex A40 and Coatex P50 are suitable alternatives to Colloid 226/35.
• Paints containing Titanium Dioxide show better dispersion and paint stability.
Coalescents
• Compatibility with hydrophobic coalescents (e.g. glycol ethers) is limited.
• Mineral spirits and Butylglycol are most suitable.
• Approx. 10 % of coalescent on wet latex are needed to achieve film formation at 5°C.
Thickeners
• Most suitable thickeners are UCAR™ POLYPHOBE™ TR 117 or TR 116.
• Cellulosic thickeners can have a negative effect on paint stability.
• Urethane thickeners are suitable. A combination of low and high shear thickeners is needed to adjust paint
rheology to the desired application method.
Fillers
• A high amount of low particle size fillers leads to low surface roughness and improved results for abrasion
resistance.
• Optimum filler packing is needed to ensure good paint properties.
PAINT PROPERTIES
Chemical resistance
• The use of calcium carbonates is not recommended
• Incorporation of titanium dioxide has no effect.
• Best properties are obtained at PVC <=40 %. Below 40 % the paint PVC doesn't affect chemical
resistance significantly.

Hot tire pick-up is influenced by the choice of fillers. The incorporation of hard fillers improves hot tire pick-up.
Paint PVC has a significant influence on the marking observed on the coating. At all PVCs no film softening,
imprint or delamination occurs.

Abrasion resistance
• Overall the abrasion resistance of dispersion based paints is higher than that of epoxy paints
• The incorporation of fine particle size fillers increases abrasion resistance.
• The use of wax emulsions and urethane dispersions has also a positive effect.

Fire performance
The fire performance of three paint samples using different colored pigments, based on FP6430/1, was evaluated
at CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment - http://feu.cstb.fr - procès verbal n° RA020342). The paint
was applied on a M0 insulating (non-combustible) substrate at 250 g/m2 coat weight.
• The rheology profile of FP6430/1 was adjusted to give good roller application properties. Brush application
and industrial application methods are possible and would need formulation adjustments.
• FP6430/1 can be applied directly onto concrete, however the use of a concrete primer is recommended,
e.g. based on UCAR™ Latex XZ 91930.00. The latex should be diluted with water (1 part
UCAR Latex XZ 91930.00 to 3 parts water). One coat should be applied by brush or spray and allowed
to dry before applying the floor paint.
