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.

Waynflash™ 110 is a liquid flash rust inhibitor which contains sodium nitrite as part of its flash rust inhibition matrix. It is a highly effective inhibitor for the flash rusting on ferrous substrates (such as galvanized steel) during the aqueous paint phase. Typical used levels range from 0.25 - 1.0% max., based upon total formula weight. It is highly versatile and can be used in any water based systems. WaynflashTM 110 exhibits good paint stability and can be incorporated at any stage of paint manufacturing. It is both HAPS and APEO free.

RHOPLEX® VSR-5102C is a 100% acrylic binder engineered for low-VOC interior and exterior semi-gloss to flat coatings. RHOPLEX® VSR-5102C can be formulated with minimal or no coalescent. RHOPLEX® VSR-5102C provides an optimal balance of abrasive scrub resistance and stain removal, along with excellent exterior durability and dirt pick-up resistance. This facilitates the formulation of high-quality, low-VOC, and low-odor interior and exterior paints. RHOPLEX® VSR-5102C contains no intentionally added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO) or per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

ACRYSOL™ DR-6600 offers the same performance as ACRYSOL RM-6, but without the use of APEO surfactants. ACRYSOL DR-6600 offers excellent gloss, film build and flow in latex paints. ACRYSOL DR-6600 is both APEO-free and solventfree and is thus well suited to meeting the latest regulatory requirements, under the proper conditions, for waterborne paints and coatings. ACRYSOL DR-6600 is effective in improving the high shear (ICI Cone and; Plate) viscosity, resulting in coatings that have high film build characteristics for improved hiding and appearance. Other benefits to the manufacturer include a virtual absence of roller spatter and the full realization of gloss potential for latex paints. Since ACRYSOL DR-6600 is of the hydrophobically-modified alkali-soluble chemistry it offers excellent long-term viscosity stability because it is inherently resistant to degradation through both enzymatic and bacterial routes.

RHOPLEX® SS 4 is designed for use in the sports surfaces area. RHOPLEX® SS 4 is a 100% acrylic with quick-drying tendencies that will resist the rigorous environments encountered on many exterior sports surfaces.

RHOPLEX® 2601 is a versatile binder designed for interior and exterior coatings and can be formulated across a broad PVC range. For exterior durability, higher coalescent levels may be needed to ensure good film formation in higher PVC paints. While RHOPLEX® 2601 is a harder latex binder, it should be noted that it is possible to develop low VOC paints with the use of low VOC coalescents (i.e. DOWANOL™ LoV 485 Glycol Ether, Optifilm 400, etc.).

PARALOID™ B-60 100% Resin permits the manufacture of hard, heat-resistant coatings that exhibit fast tack-free time, rapid hardness development, and very good dry and wet adhesion to Plexiglas acrylic, ABS, and polystyrene plastics. It is recommended for use in lacquers for automotive plastics and in clear finishes for furniture plastics.

D.E.R.® 732 Liquid Epoxy Resin is a reaction product of epichlorohydrin and polypropylene glycol.

RHOPLEX® 800h was developed to allow for early hardness development in low VOC glossy paints particularly in deep tones. RHOPLEX® 800h unique morphology with ambient crosslinking enables improved hardness, tackiness, block resistance and feel properties.

ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 Rheology Modifier offers a viscosity versus shear rate profile that is highly Newtonian. This characteristic makes it very useful for building ICI, particularly in high volume solids and/or small particle size latex formulations. The ICI efficiency of ACRYSOL™ RM-3000Rheology Modifier is greater than that of ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 Rheology Modifier, but less than ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 The Newtonian rheology that ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 offers is particularly useful for obtaining excellent flow in high-ICI formulations. ACRYSOL™ RM-3000 Rheology Modifier is of the nonionic, hydrophobically-modified ethylene-oxide urethane (HEUR) type, and is manufactured without the use of solvents or APEO surfactants.

SPHERILEX® DP-0115 synthetic amorphous Silicon Dioxide has a unique spherical particle shape that allows for outstanding burnish and abrasion resistance as very well as very low binder demand.

RHOPLEX® B-85 is a very firm anionic acrylic binder used as an additive to anionic binders to stiffen hand. Unlike other RHOPLEX™ dispersions, RHOPLEX™ B-85 does not form continuous films under normal conditions of application. When blended with softer polymers it helps produce films with improved toughness and improved resistance to blocking.

PARALOID™ A-11 provides excellent color and color retention, high hardness, and excellent resistance to alcohol and water. It has properties similar to PARALOID™ A-11 Thermoplastic Solution Resins and is used in similar applications. PARALOID™ A-11 Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin is compatible with several other PARALOID™ A-11 resins such as PARALOID™ A-21 Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin, PARALOID™ B-44 Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin, and PARALOID™ B-82 Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin and with other film formers including cellulosic, vinyl, silicone, and epoxy.
