PERFORMANCE COATINGS PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Carboset® CA-600 Acrylic Emulsion

Low VOC, 100% Acrylic, Self-Crosslinking

Carboset® CA-600 is a water-based, 100% acrylic, self cross-linking, polymer emulsion specifically developed for horizontal
masonry clear, stain and opaque coatings. High performance coatings can be formulated at <100 g/L VOC to protect and enhance
the appearance of a variety of concrete based construction materials for residential and commercial applications.​ ​ Carboset CA-
600 provides a unique combination of properties for a wide range of horizontal masonry coatings. Carboset CA-600 based
coatings do not blush, have great exterior durability, and adhere well leading to long lasting, attractive coatings. They also provide
good chemical resistance enhancing appearance by resisting discoloration from dirt and spills. Carboset CA-600 based coatings
do not yellow and can enhance the color of the substrate when applied in two coats. Good early water resistance and fast dry time
provide for faster application and fewer concerns for rain after application. Contractors have reported that Carboset CA-600 based
coatings are easier to apply when used side by side with existing commercial coatings. Carboset CA-600 can be used in clears,
stains and fully pigmented systems directly on cementitious substrates, in cementitious coatings, over acid stains and over
substrates previously treated with latex coatings leading to greater formulation flexibility.
