RHOPLEX® CL-105

RHOPLEX® CL-105 is designed for use in factory-applied, waterborne, acrylic wood finishes that require warmth, clarity, grain character and sandability. Sealers based on this emulsion have excellent sanding characteristics without the addition of stearates or other sanding aids. Formulations based on RHOPLEX® CL-105 are clear from the moment they are applied due to their excellent wet film clarity. These formulations also dry very rapidly. Clear lacquers based on RHOPLEX® CL-105 are formulated to have very low VOC and HAPS content, important advantages over solvent borne lacquers.

Product Advantages

• Outstanding clarity
• Excellent early sandability (without the use of stearates)
• Good warmth and grain definition
• Low VOC
• Low HAPS

Performance Highlights

The following characteristics of lacquers based on RHOPLEX® CL-105 Emulsion were determined in using the recommended starting point formulations.

  • Fast Dry:
    •  At the recommended film thickness of 3 to 4 wet mils, Sanding Sealer Formulation CL-105-1 can be sanded after 20 minutes ambient drying followed by 4 minutes at 120°F and 5 minutes cooling.
    • Normally sanding aids will not be necessary.
    • However, the addition of Liquazinc AQ-90 dispersion (1% to 3% additive solids based on polymer solids) will improve sandability even further with an accompanying slight decrease in film clarity.
    • The rate of hardness development always depends on the coalescent used.

Safety & Health

Safety Precautions
  • Based on its composition, RHOPLEX® CL-105 Emulsion is not expected to be toxic via single oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure. It may be a mild skin, eye, or respiratory irritant.
  • 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.
