EnviroCat 150 Crosslinker

EnviroCat 150 Crosslinker: Improved Hardness, Adhesion & Chemical Resistance

The EnviroCat 150 Crosslinker (ELCAT150) is a powerful additive designed to enhance the performance of water-based finishes. Formulated to improve hardness, chemical resistance, and adhesion, this crosslinker is ideal for use with Envirolak primers, topcoats, and sealers. When added to topcoats, ELCAT150 provides superior scratch, mar, and chemical resistance while increasing surface durability.

In primers, it significantly boosts adhesion and water resistance. This versatile additive also helps reduce orange peel texture in vertical spray applications, resulting in a smoother finish. Ready to use and easy to integrate, EnviroCat 150 is mixed directly into finishes and maintains enhanced performance for 8-12 hours post-mixing.

Key Features of EnviroCat 150 Crosslinker

✔️ Enhanced Durability: EnviroCat 150 significantly increases the hardness of the finish, making it more resistant to everyday wear and tear.

✔️ Improved Chemical Resistance: The crosslinked coating is more resistant to stains, spills, and harsh cleaning agents.

✔️ Better Adhesion: Using EnviroCat 150 in basecoats ensures stronger adhesion between layers, preventing issues like peeling or flaking.

✔️ Smoother Application: In vertical spray applications, EnviroCat 150 helps to eliminate the "orange peel" texture, providing a smooth, professional-grade finish.

✔️ Efficient Crosslinking: The crosslinking lasts for 8-12 hours, giving you enough time to work with the material without sacrificing performance.

How to Apply EnviroCat 150 Crosslinker?

• Measure: Add EnviroCat 150 at 3% by weight to your finish. For example, use 42g per quart or 170g per gallon for primers.

• Mix: Stir thoroughly, using mechanical mixing if possible, for even blending.

• Apply: Use as you would normally apply the finish. The crosslinker helps improve smoothness and durability.

• Pot Life: Use within 8-12 hours for best performance. For longer use, blend with fresh product and re-add EnviroCat 150.

• Store: Keep tightly sealed at room temperature, away from moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What does EnviroCat 150 do?
It boosts the durability, hardness, and chemical resistance of water-based finishes, giving you a tougher, smoother coating.

2. How much EnviroCat 150 should I add?
Add 3% by weight to your coating (e.g., 29 grams per quart for topcoats).

3. How long is the pot life after mixing?
You have 8-12 hours of enhanced performance after mixing. After that, the material is still usable but will not have the same boosted performance.

4. Can I use EnviroCat 150 in all finishes?
Yes, EnviroCat 150 works with Envirolak primers, topcoats, and sealers to improve performance.

5. What should I do if my crosslinked coating loses performance?
You can blend the mixed material 1:1 with fresh uncatalyzed material and then add EnviroCat 150 at 3% by weight to re-crosslink.
