Accelerated Weather Testing
External weathering test bed
to establish the durability of paint coatings.
Acrylated Rubber - Acid Resistant
The ability of a paint coating to resist acid attack e.g. acrylated rubber. Chlorinated rubber based materials are often referred to but now also referred to as acrylated rubber.
Acrylic Resin
A hard wearing binder used in water based paints.
Acrylic resin is also be used in other paints to improve the adhesion and durability.

Generally water-based paint such as P.V.A., masonry paints, cement-based paint, bituminous paints and epoxy resin paints which are resistant to alkali attack.
Aluminium Primer for Wood
A primer generally recommended for all types of wooh hardwood, based on a special leafing/flake aluminum pigment which prevents tannic acid bleeding. seals bitumen base coatings and surfaces.
Should not be confused with primers for aluminium.
Amine Bloom
