BaseCase Solvent A

BaseCase Solvent A is an aqueous solution of an aliphatic, low molecular weight urethane diol oligomer. It is recommended as a modifier for amino crosslinked water soluble and emulsified acrylic, alkyd, urethane and polyester resins. BaseCase Solvent A can be used as a reactive cosolvent replacement to increase solids, crosslink density, improve film/resistance properties and flow/leveling.
