Aquadryl is a single pack Industrial Water Based Top Coat suitable for application over solvent and water based primers. ideally suited to be used over the Franchi & Kim "Aquafond" water based, tint-able corrosion resistant primer. This system lends itself well to various applications, both internal and external. An ideal alternative to traditional solvent based primer and top-coat system. Aquadryl by Franchi & Kim is mixed exclusively in the UK by Avenue group.

The beauty of water based paint are the many positives:

• Low V.O.C. (Volatile Organic compounds)
• Water thin-able
• Improved colour retention in exterior exposures when compare to similar solvent based equivalents.
• Arguably tougher/harder when cured, when compared to solvent based equivalent products
• The ability to control the cure, delaying or hastening drying by increasing or reducing air-flow over the curing surface.
• Drying times at 20oC
• Dust free 15-20* minutes.
• Touch dry 2-3* hours
• Recoat-able 2-6 hours
• Full Cure 7 days.
• *Air movement will speed up the curing process.
