Overview

Coatings built for performance

Acrylic surface coatings have surpassed alkyd finishes as the leading finishes used in the paint and coatings industry. Acrylic Coatings at Chemilac come in two types — Thermosetting (TSA) and Thermoplastic (TPA) — each formulated for a different substrate and use case.

Two products, one category

Compare both system side by side and select the right solution for your application.
