RHOPLEX® EC-3814

RHOPLEX® EC-3814 is designed to provide elastomeric coatings with an excellent balance of elongation, tensile strength and dirt pickup resistance over a wide temperature range. RHOPLEX® EC-3814 retains this balance of properties over formulation ranges not previously attainable for elastomeric wall coatings. RHOPLEX® EC-3814 can also be formulated at a higher PVC than Dow’s other elastomeric binders, which can lead to formulated cost savings, while still maintaining excellent mechanical properties. Furthermore, it shows a dramatic improvement in alkali resistance over hot masonry substrates compared to other elastomeric binders.
