RHOPLEX® AC-2508

RHOPLEX® AC-2508 is designed for exterior semigloss house and trim paints. It is closely related to RHOPLEX® AC-507 and RHOPLEX® AC-2507 Acrylic Binders, but with a slightly harder polymer composition for a bit better resistance to dirt pickup and blocking. Also, the product provides more "robust" wet adhesion, in that there is less drop-off in adhesion when formulated with polyacid dispersants, and anionic rheology modifiers. Coalescent demand of RHOPLEX® AC-2508 in most formulations is 10% Texanol ester alcohol by weight of binder solids.

Safety & Health

Safety Precautions
  • Keep combustible and/or flammable products and their vapors away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition including static discharge.
  • Processing or operating at temperatures near or above product flashpoint may pose a fire hazard. Use appropriate grounding and bonding techniques to manage static discharge hazards.
  • Failure to maintain proper volume level when using immersion heaters can expose tank and solution to excessive heat resulting in a possible combustion hazard, particularly when plastic tanks are used.
