Alexseal announces a new era of acrylic topcoats

Acrylic Topcoat X is the newest addition to the Alexseal coating portfolio. It has been formulated to redefine the marine acrylic coating market with brilliant paintwork results and simple, time-saving application.

A successful application result on a yacht depends not only on the quality of the material but also on the application process and its conditions.

The development of Topcoat X considered different impacts that face boatbuilders and yards during application conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and dust. Fast-drying properties help reduce dust inclusions in the coating layer and minimise time-consuming rework. If dust inclusions do occur, excellent buffing properties allow for a fast and straightforward repair when needed.

A high pigment load in the coating offers excellent coverage per square foot and full coverage with no show-through in two coats for most colours. The finish is above the level of existing acrylics in the yacht market and equals polyester topcoats. Less corrective work, fewer coats, easy handling, and proven application parameters provide a quick and smooth path to a high-gloss finish with exceptional DOI (Distinctness of Image – a measure of how crisp and sharp you see a reflected image in a high gloss surface).
