“The IFAI Expo provides the perfect format to meet face-to-face with new prospects to discuss how our VYNGUARD® coatings and finishes can be customized to improve the performance of their products,” said Erin Brown-Neff, Director of Marketing and Business Development, APV Engineered Coatings.
Available in solvent- or water-based formulations, VYNGUARD® is a line of coating chemistries or finishes that provides a clear or pigmented 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.

- Automotive Upholstery, Fabrics and Components
- Marine
