ROSHIELD™ 636

ROSHIELD™ 636 is a hard, styrene-acrylic polymer that offers one component, self-crosslinking technology for kitchen cabinets, for sealers and topcoats in molding formulations, and any interior board application. Coatings based on ROSHIELD 636 Emulsion exhibit outstanding mar, print, and block resistance without the limitation of pot life. The excellent color retention of ROSHIELD 636 Emulsion makes it an excellent choice for use over white and light colored basecoats. It offers very good ammonia resistance, is highly resistant to a wide range of stains and chemicals, and has unsurpassed humidity resistance.

Product Applications
  • In general, ROSHIELD™ 636 Emulsion offers very good sandability and good substrate adhesion, and can be self-sealed. Coatings based on ROSHIELD™ 636 Emulsion can be clear or pigmented and can be formulated in a range of finishes from flat to gloss.
  • For kitchen cabinets specifically, ROSHIELD™ 636 Emulsion provides its best performance when used in combination with a waterborne sealer based on RHOPLEX™ AC-337N Emulsion. Each of these polymers is based on acrylic technology recognized for offering highly durable finishes. This sealer/topcoat combination results in a low-VOC and low-HAPs system with excellent appearance and resistance properties.
  • Traditional sealers and topcoats used to finish kitchen cabinets are generally solventborne, acid-catalyzed systems that can pose regulatory issues, including HAPs and high VOC concerns. They also have limited pot life. As described above, these are not issues with ROSHIELD™ 636 Emulsion which is well suited for low-VOC and low-HAPs finishes.
  • Additionally, the combination of a sealer based on RHOPLEX AC-337N Emulsion and a topcoat based on ROSHIELD™ 636 Emulsion easily passes each of the KCMA tests, including the challenging edge soak test. The following table presents the results of sealer/topcoat testing for kitchen cabinets.
