THETAPEL™ AM-5012 is a colorless and near-odorless partially fluorinated acrylic polymer. It is effective at very low concentrations. is soluble in most common oil-based systems for exceptional oil and water repellency and for improving the wetting and spreading of non-polar organic solvent coating systems.

    Product Highlights
    • Solvent-based, partially fluorinated acrylic copolymer 
    • Imparts oil & water repellency at ambient curing temperatures on virtually any surface it contacts 
    • Provides an easy-to-clean surface particularly against oily soils 
    • Provides surface tension reduction in solvent-based applications for improved wetting, spreading, leveling, and coating properties 
    • Effective at very low concentrations, leaving bulk coating properties unaffected 
    • Excellent compatibility with binders, rheology modifiers, and other formulation components 
    • Will not affect the appearance, feel, color, odor, or other properties of treated surfaces 
    • Treated surfaces are easier to clean, and resistant to abrasion and weathering 
    • Can be diluted in a wide range of non- polar solvents

    Application Information

    Mix Thetapel AM-5012 before use.

    For dilutions of this product, start with Odorless Mineral Spirits or solvent of choice, and then blend the Thetapel AM- 5012 into the OMS or solvent.

    Use gentle agitation to minimize foam

    • Dilute 1 part Thetapel AM-5012 with 5-10 parts of OMS or solvent of choice 
    • Adjust level of Thetapel AM-5012 based on cost/performance properties required 
    • Dries to touch in 30-120 minutes and achieves maximum repellency in about 24 hours, depending on application rates and conditions 
    • Can be applied with a low-pressure sprayer (<60 psi), roller, or brush.
