Sherwin-Williams ACROLON EG5 Acrylic Polyurethane Topcoat – RAL1021 Rape Yellow

Sherwin-Williams ACROLON EG5 is a premium two-component acrylic polyurethane topcoat engineered for exceptional performance and long-lasting protection in a wide range of environments. This coating offers a tough, elastic, yet hard finish that is highly resistant to shock and impact, making it suitable for challenging applications.

Key benefits include very good corrosion protection properties when used as part of a recommended system, along with excellent resistance to chemicals and weathering, ensuring superior color stability and a lasting aesthetic finish in the specified RAL1021 Rape Yellow. For projects requiring faster turnaround, the addition of 1% w/w Acrolon® PUR Accelerator can achieve rapid touch and through-drying times (refer to the accelerator’s product data sheet for more information).

ACROLON EG5 is designed for professional use and provides a durable, high-quality finish essential for protecting valuable assets.
