By CarbonPaintCentre | August 12, 2020 | Comments Off on PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: Formaldehyde-free AkzoNobel FF Duracid and FF DuracidColor (FF Wood Finishes)

Completely free of formaldehyde and isocyanates, the AkzoNobel FF Duracid range of acid curing lacquers is the ideal choice for interior furnishings.

A popular wood finishing for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and children’s playrooms (in fact, for all interior joinery, furniture and cabinetry!), FF Duracid and FF DuracidColor lacquers not only benefit the end users of interior furnishings but, importantly, are also safer for employees working in a spray shop environment. As a result, moving to formaldehyde-free (FF) and isocyanate-free formulations provides a win-win situation for staff and customers alike.

“Formaldehyde is a highly reactive, acutely toxic gas and a genotoxic carcinogen. It is predominantely used as a chemical intermediate to manufacture formaldehyde-based resins and other chemicals. Formaldehyde off-gassed from articles produced using formaldehyde-based substances contributes to consumer exposure in indoor environments”.

No Compromise on Quality

It’s reassuring to know that the FF Duracid range has similar properties to our high-quality 2-component PUR alkyd paints or traditional acid-hardening paints. What’s more, the FF Duracid coating system can be perfectly applied with a spray gun and has an extremely long pot life of five days.

All system components are compatible and 100% matched.
