Aqua-Cationic Technology™

What is AQUA-CATIONIC TECHNOLOGY™?

Aqua-Cationic Technology™, developed by Vernis Claessens SA, is based on the fact that stains are soluble in basic media and virtually insoluble in acidic media.

Thus, with aqueous paints containing a binder dispersed in a weakly acidic medium, excellent stain blocking and isolation properties are obtained. 

Aqua-Cationic Technology™, is the guarantee of good insulating power. It also improves adhesion to certain substrates.

Our paints in the Universal Xtrem range are a concentrate of this technology dedicated to high performance. They considerably reduce your on-site intervention time by simplifying the organisation and implementation of your work.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AQUA-CATIONIC TECHNOLOGY™ PAINT AND CONVENTIONAL PAINT

This technology gives our paints two essential properties which are the DNA of the Universal Xtrem range:

1- Stain blocking 

Our aqua-cationic paints neutralise stains effectively and lastingly. 

2- Excellent adhesion 

Thanks to the special properties of the cationic binder, our paints in the Universal Xtrem range offer excellent adhesion to all types of surface, with the exception of ferrous metals (oxidation/rust) and hard plastics, which require prior testing*.
