APV will be exhibiting at the IFAI Expo 2016 in Charlotte, NC from October 19th-21st and showcasing their re-released VYNGUARD performance coatings line which now includes specialty fabrics, and leather hide applications. The line – originally launched for use with non-woven, vinyl substrates – includes seven base chemistries the company custom formulates for each customer.

The line includes:

• VYNGUARD Anti-Graffiti
• VYNGUARD Polycarbonate                                          
• VYNGUARD with Kynar PVDF
• VYNGUARD  Weld-Able PVDF
• VYNGUARD Polyurethane
• VYNGUARD HP Acrylic
• VYNGUARD Vinyl Acrylic

“We have been looking forward to exhibiting our VYNGUARD product line at the IFAI Expo since re-releasing it earlier this year,” said Erin Brown-Neff, Director of Marketing and Business Development for APV Engineered Coatings. “The IFAI Expo provides the perfect format to meet face-to-face with new prospects to discuss how our VYNGUARD chemistries can be customized for their products.”

Available in solvent- or water-based, VYNGUARD chemistries provide an easy-to-apply clear, protective layer that can mitigate plasticizer from migrating through the surface. The formulations exceed industry standards for UV resistance, dirt shedding, moisture resistance, severe stain protection and fungal resistance, depending on the chemistry. Pigmented topcoats or print ink formulations are made with specialty grade inorganic pigments for superior color fastness. They have long coating lifecycles and provide high-definition print reception, superior dot gain properties and excellent adhesion.
