Since SANDX-ES*0 is a self cross linking acrylic emulsion, catalyst is not necessary to achieve film durability where curing conditions are optimum (3 minutes at **0 Deg.C) But where curing conditions are less than optimum an acid or latent acid catalyst is recommended. The use of catalysts like Di-ammonium phosphate is recommended.
