Suggested Use

Hauthane L-3838 was developed for use on flexible and rigid PVC and other plastic substrates. It may also be formulated to provide gloss topcoats on cementatious, metal and wood substrates. This product exhibits superior chemical resistance properties, while maintaining excellent flexibility and gloss retention characteristics.

Product Applications

Hauthane L-3838 may be used as a sole vehicle or blended with acrylic emulsions for spray or brush applications. Rheology modifications can be made with associative thickeners for alternative application methods.

Drying

Hauthane L-3838 may be dried at ambient temperatures. Typical oven drying temperatures and dwell times for aqueous coatings are sufficient to produce optimal film properties.
