Performance Highlights

The performance of RHOPLEX® DCR-113 binder in a 43.5% PVC / 43% Volume Solids formulation (tinted to Cedar-tone) is shown in Figure 1 below, in comparison to three commercially-available deck & concrete restoration coating products (also tinted to cedar- tone). The results shown in the figure show how RHOPLEX® DCR-113 binder can provide a solid overall balance of properties required for restoration coatings, highlighted by an excellent combination of flexibility and crack resistance along with resistance to abrasive damage.
