EBECRYL® 3600 is an amine modified bisphenol A epoxy acrylate that exhibits exceptionally fast cure via exposure to ultraviolet light (UV). Films of EBECRYL® 3600 cured by UV or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss and hardness combined with excellent chemical resistance. The amine modification can also improve adhesion to plastics.

CYMEL® 1141 Resin is a highly methylated/iso-butylated, carboxy-modified melamine crosslinker supplied in iso-butanol. CYMEL® 1141 Resin is especially designed for electro-deposition primer formulations requiring excellent corrosion and resistance properties. CYMEL® 1141 Resin contains chelating groups which can form colored compounds with heavy metal ions such as iron and zinc. For that reason it is recommended to use CYMEL® 1141 Resin only in dark single coat applications or primers and not in pastel colors.

RHOPLEX® CL-104 Waterborne Acrylic Copolymer, yield clear wood coatings which shed water and coalescent rapidly, resulting in excellent early print resistance properties. However, in extreme ambient conditions (temperatures approaching 100°F (38°C) and/or very low relative humidity), some of these first generation print-resistant products can trap bubbles when spray applied, causing film haze and clarity loss. In contrast, RHOPLEX® CL-204 Acrylic Emulsion is specifically engineered to minimize this microfoam entrapment by slowing the film-set process which occurs under extreme ambient conditions, while still maintaining acceptable early print resistance properties.

CRAYVALLAC® WF-1039 has been especially designed to give textured finishes to polyester and hybrid powder coating systems. This texturing agent is easily incorporated using conventional premixing techniques prior to extrusion.

ACRYSOL™ RM-12W is a solvent-free, nonionic rheology modifier designed to offer high low-shear viscosity with an extremely shear thinning rheology and excellent thickening efficiency. Unlike conventional thickeners, ACRYSOL™ RM-12W offers excellent sag resistance with minimal effect on flow and leveling. While not capable of providing true thixotropy, it can offer advantages typical of thixotropes. These properties include improved brush/roller loading, good anti-drip properties, good in-can structure, and excellent flow, sag balance.

Bara 325 is a high-quality barium sulfate product used as a filler and pigment in various applications, including coatings, plastics, and elastomers. Known for its excellent opacity and durability, it enhances the final product’s appearance and performance. Synonyms include Barium sulfate, Barium white, and BaSO₄. Bara 325 improves processing characteristics and provides effective color effects in various industrial uses.

ACRYSOL™ RM-244 is a solvent-free, hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifier based on proprietary Acid Suppression technology for an excellent balance of properties. This KU-building associative thickener offers formulators an excellent balance of sag resistance in tinted paints, flow and leveling, and gloss development for interior and exterior paints. ACRYSOL™ RM-244 also contributes ICI viscosity allowing the reduction of ICI builder concentration in most formulations.

EBECRYL® 3200 is a blend of acrylated aliphatic and aromatic bisphenol A epoxy resins and exhibits relatively low viscosity and good wetting ability. Films of EBECRYL 3200 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) possess high gloss, flexibility and chemical resistance.

EBECRYL® 225 is a ten functional aliphatic urethane acrylate. After polymerization, films of EBECRYL® 225 exhibit outstanding surface hardness and low haze development after abrasion. In addition, EBECRYL® 225 does not contain intentionally added organic tin compounds, heavy metals* or quinones.

ACRYSOL™ G-111 is an ammonia neutralized poly-acrylate solution polymer recommended for thickening and stabilizing water based synthetic and natural latexes. It produces thickened latexes of a smooth and consistent texture and is insensitive to sodium, calcium, and magnesium ions.

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.

ACRYSOL™ WS-68 Emulsion is a thermosetting acrylic polymer supplied as a colloidal dispersion in water. When formulated with monomeric melamine resins, it facilitates the formulation of industrial baking enamels that offer excellent spray characteristics and film properties.

RHOPLEX® AC-264 is a unique high solids, 100% acrylic emulsion vehicle for exterior latex paints which provides a high level of adhesion to chalky substrates. RHOPLEX® AC-264 represents a slight modification of RHOPLEX® AC-64 is recommended as a substitute for the latter product. As when making any raw material change, the formulator should check key properties such as color acceptance and adhesion.

Polyfill 403SM is a alumina trihydrate and leading flame retardant and smoke suppressant product used in a wide range of industrial applications.

RHOPLEX® AC-337N is designed for use in semi-transparent stains. This binder provides an extremely hydrophobic film, leading to excellent water resistance and reduced liquid water permeability. RHOPLEX® AC-337N Acrylic Emulsion has been developed to react more efficiently with associative thickeners, leading potentially to lower formulation cost. RHOPLEX® AC-337N Acrylic Emulsion also shows improved color acceptance and alkyd compatibility. The 100% acrylic backbone ensures the high standard of tint retention, crack resistance, chalk resistance, and alkali resistance. The outstanding adhesion technology will ensure excellent adhesion to wood. RHOPLEX® AC-337N can clarity makes it possible to prepare transparent and semi-transparent stains with more attractive application properties than conventional alkyd emulsion or acrylic emulsion based stains.
