RHOPLEX® HG-706

RHOPLEX® HG-706 is the new binder is designed for interior and exterior VOC compliant gloss and semigloss enamels, allowing formulators to produce high-performance coatings at 50 g/l VOC. RHOPLEX® HG-706 takes advantage of innovative technology to improve enamel performance over that of conventional latex polymers. The combination of an all-acrylic backbone and ambient-cure crosslinking technology provides superior performance in formulations ranging from 50 to 150 g/l VOC. Enamels based on RHOPLEX® HG-706 provide excellent adhesion, block, and stain removal.

RHOPLEX® HG-706 - Technical Data - 1

The photo above demonstrates the superior block resistance of HG-706 All-Acrylic Emulsion in a 7-day, high temperature block test. The gloss enamel based on a competitive binder clearly shows tearing of the paint film, while the gloss enamel RHOPLEX™ HG-706 All-Acrylic Emulsion retains its integrity.

RHOPLEX® HG-706 - Technical Data - 1

The excellent household chemical resistance of gloss enamels based on RHOPLEX™ RHOPLEX®; HG-706 All-Acrylic Emulsion is demonstrated in the photo above.
The gloss enamel based on a competitive polymer degrades when wiped with a home cleaner, while the enamel based on RHOPLEX™ HG-706 All-Acrylic based on Emulsion stands up to the 200 cleaning cycles.

 

Technical Data

Ambient Temperature Crosslinking

  • RHOPLEX® HG-706  All-Acrylic Emulsion offers the benefits of ambient temperature crosslinking chemistry in a one-pack system.
  • It will oxidatively cure after the coalescing of latex particles to form a crosslinked film with improved hardness, toughness, and resistance properties.
  • Aqueous gloss enamels based on RHOPLEX® HG-706 All-Acrylic Emulsion will have similar drying characteristics to conventional latex paints.
  • They exhibit very good early properties and will continue to improve during the curing process which may require two to four weeks for some properties to fully develop.
  • Unlike the traditional oxidative cure of alkyd-based gloss enamels, RHOPLEX® HG-706 All-Acrylic Emulsion will not continue to cure and embrittle over time.
  • The final result is a coating with the unique combination of flexibility and toughness.

The performance of RHOPLEX® HG-706  All-Acrylic Emulsion is compared to that of two competitive low VOC gloss binders in the following table.(19.4% PVC, 35% Volume Solids)

Storage & Handling

Handling Information
  • 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.
Storage Conditions

Store products in tightly closed original containers at temperatures recommended on the product label.
