MAINCOTE™ 4950 Resin is an aqueous acrylic emulsion polymer that facilitates the formulation of coatings to less than or equal to 50 g/L VOC for use in light to medium duty maintenance and protective coatings applications and general industrial metal finishing applications. It offers excellent exterior durability and corrosion resistance, and ease of formulation with excellent paint stability. MAINCOTE 4950 Resin offers improved corrosion resistance versus current direct-to-metal (DTM) finish coats formulated below 100 g/L. It also offers good architectural gloss and trim paint properties. Low coalescent demand allows compliance with stringent VOC regulations.

RHOPLEX® WL-81, waterborne, acrylic polymer is specifically designed for the formulation of clear and pigmented ambient or forced-air-dry industrial lacquers. Coating systems based on this polymer are suitable for use on a variety of substrates and offer a number of key benefits currently provided by solvent borne industrial lacquers, but without the flammability, odor, or other problems inherent with such systems.

RHOPLEX® WL-100 is an acrylic-styrene copolymer designed for high-gloss, high-DOI (Distinctness of Image) waterborne plastic coatings where an attractive appearance and excellent dry and wet adhesion are important considerations. The favorable colloidal stability (robustness) of RHOPLEX® WL-100 accommodates a broad range of formulation types and formulation process techniques, providing the formulator with a versatile binder for a variety of applications. Robustness, along with 50% weight solids, allows the formulator to achieve volume solids above conventional waterborne binders.

MAINCOTE™ HG-56 is an aqueous emulsion designed as a binder for maintenance coatings. While it is compositionally similar to MAINCOTE™ HG-54D Acrylic Resin, its somewhat larger particle size mandates that it be formulated in a different manner. The formulator should pay particular attention to the guidelines in this brochure.

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® WL-96 is a binder that can be used for low-VOC, brush-applied, interior clear wood finishes. It is well suited for finishing wood trim, doors, walls and floors. Finishes formulated with RHOPLEX® WL-96 or with a blend of RHOPLEX® WL-96 and a polyurethane dispersion enhance hardness, stain and chemical resistance, and other performance characteristics. Overall, the properties make a clear wood finish based on RHOPLEX® WL-96 a very viable alternative to solvent-based clear finishes.

RHOPLEX® CL-105 is designed for use in factory-applied, waterborne, acrylic wood finishes that require warmth, clarity, grain character and sandability. Sealers based on this emulsion have excellent sanding characteristics without the addition of stearates or other sanding aids. Formulations based on RHOPLEX® CL-105 are clear from the moment they are applied due to their excellent wet film clarity. These formulations also dry very rapidly. Clear lacquers based on RHOPLEX® CL-105 are formulated to have very low VOC and HAPS content, important advantages over solvent borne lacquers.

AVANSE™ MV-100 represents the latest technology in waterborne acrylic polymers for high performance and low VOC industrial maintenance coatings. It provides formulators with a single resin which can be formulated into corrosion-resistant primers, highly durable topcoats, and high gloss direct-to-metal (DTM) finish coats. The novel technology behind the AVANSE™ Resins product line leads to new standards in film gloss, durability, corrosion control, chemical and solvent resistance, and adhesion. One aspect of this new technology is the formation of latex-pigment composite particles, which gives more homogeneous pigment distribution and results in enhanced corrosion resistance. Also, combining a novel polymer composition and the ability to self-crosslink after film formation, AVANSE™ MV-100 Resin offers the ability to formulate high performance coatings with volatile organic content (VOC) at or below 100 g/L. The favorable colloidal stability of AVANSE™ MV-100 Resin accommodates a broad range of formulation types, providing the formulator with a versatile binder for a variety of applications. Formulation robustness, along with 50-51% weight solids, allows the formulator to produce coatings with volume solids above conventional waterborne binders.

MAINCOTE™ EC-11 is an acrylic polymer recommended for use in elastomeric coatings for industrial maintenance applications on both metal and cementitious substrates. When formulated as an anti-corrosive coating, MAINCOTE™ EC-11 Acrylic Emulsion can be applied to both clean and marginally-prepared rusty steel, and imparts excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion, low temperature flexibility and dirt pickup resistance. When applied to concrete surfaces, MAINCOTE™ EC-11 Acrylic Emulsion provides excellent resistance to blistering and the stresses imparted by thermal cycling. It is especially useful in applications where prevention of spalling and scaling of the concrete surface, caused by exposure to water and deicing chemicals, is required. The proper formulation and elastomeric nature of MAINCOTE™ EC-11 Acrylic Emulsion facilitates the production of coatings with excellent flexibility, very low VOC levels (< 50 g/L), and the ability to be applied in thick films (e.g., 10-20 mils dry) without sagging or mudcracking.

MAINCOTE™ AE-58 is an aqueous acrylic emulsion copolymer which can be crosslinked with waterborne dispersions of epoxy resin in two-component acrylic/epoxy coatings. The resulting acrylic/epoxy coatings have properties such as low VOC, long pot life, and outstanding hardness, UV durability and solvent/chemical resistance. The high performance coatings can be used in a variety of interior and exterior applications for metal and concrete surfaces, such as institutional wall coatings and industrial metal primers, topcoats and direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings.

RHOPLEX® WL-51 is ideal for high-performance waterborne finishes for coating plastic substrates, such as those used for business machines and office equipment. RHOPLEX® WL-51 is recommended for use on the following plastics: acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene, polycarbonate, polyphenylene oxide, polyvinyl chloride, acrylic, polystyrene, high-impact polystyrene, polypropylene, and pre-treated thermoplastic polyolefin. RHOPLEX® WL-51 delivers an outstanding combination of application, durability, and appearance benefits that make it an excellent choice for demanding business and office applications.

MAINCOTE™ 5045C Emulsion is an aqueous acrylic emulsion polymer based on AVANSETM Acrylic Resin Technology. It facilitates the formulation of coatings to less than or equal to 25 g/L VOC for use in light to medium duty industrial maintenance and protective coatings applications. It offers excellent UV durability, corrosion resistance, block resistance, and ease of formulation with excellent paint stability. It can be formulated into highly durable topcoats and high gloss direct-to-metal (DTM) finish coats. When formulated at 25 g/L VOC or below, MAINCOTE™ 5045C Emulsion offers improvements in these properties versus many current DTM finishes formulated at higher VOC levels of 100 g/L and above. The low coalescent demand of MAINCOTE™ 5045C Emulsion allows compliance with stringent VOC regulations. MAINCOTE™ 5045C contains no intentionally added APEO (alkylphenol ethoxylate) surfactants and no intentionally added PFAS.
