ROVACE™ 9100AF

ROVACE™ 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion is a new emulsion that offers the same performance as ROVACE 9100 Copolymer Emulsion, but is manufactured without the use of APEO surfactants. ROVACE 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion is a 55% solids vinyl/acrylic binder for interior flat and semigloss paints. This new generation of binder offers exceptional scrub resistance and stain removal and its consistent particle size minimizes variability in paint production. ROVACE 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion is compatible with today's prevalent use of rheologymodifiers that show very good application properties, flow and leveling characteristics. In our lab testing and evaluations we have not seen any differences in formulation parameters, application properties or dry film property differences between ROVACE 9100 and ROVACE 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion.

Formulation Guidelines
  • ROVACE™ 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion is designed to perform in paint formulations which are optimized for vinyl/acrylic emulsions. When substituting for an existing binder, the formulator should make a solid-on-solid replacement of ROVACE 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion for the current binder and evaluate performance.
  • Slight modifications may be required to achieve a commercially acceptable paint formulation. Dow technical service chemists will assist you in fine tuning paints if this is required.

Performance Data
  • The high molecular weight and narrow particle size control of ROVACE™ 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion make it an ideal choice for formulating with rheology modifiers, achieving good brush application, excellent touch-up, and exceptional flow and leveling characteristics. ROVACE™ 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion also offers excellent stain removal capabilities as well as exceptional scrub resistance. The consistent narrow particle size distribution minimizes variability in plant production.
  • In addition, ROVACE™ 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion is supplied at a lower viscosity than typical vinyl/acrylic copolymers, allowing easier transfer from tank trucks to bulk storage equipment. This results in less foam generation, less polymer drying in transfer lines, and less time required for transfer. The lower viscosity also enables more accurate delivery through flow meters.
  • ROVACE™ 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion is one of the highest quality, most economical new generation binders for interior flat and semigloss paints. However, Dow does not consider vinyl/acrylic copolymer based systems suitable for quality exterior paints, although we do recognize that such systems are used in certain exterior applications. Based on our exposure data, we expect ROVACE™ 9100AF Copolymer Emulsion to have performance properties similar to other commercially available vinyl/acrylic copolymers. We encourage our customers to review our exposure panels when they visit our Spring House Exposure Station.
