Products

RHOPLEX® VSR-50 is a 100% acrylic latex designed for premium architectural flat to gloss interior and exterior coatings. Its low coalescent demand allows the formulator to meet 50 g/L VOC regulations with some freeze-thaw capability. RHOPLEX® VSR-50 offers excellent surfactant leaching, water resistance properties, and alkali resistance. It provides proven superior exterior durability after several years of exposure over a variety of substrates such as wood, metal, and masonry for dirt pick-up resistance, efflorescence resistance, crack resistance, and tint retention. It is easy to formulate, slurry compatible, and has good block resistance.

SharkDISPersion WX2™ is a vinyl-based binder, resin, and cobinder that offers antibacterial and anti-static properties, improved formulation latitude and performance, UV resistance, and water resistance.

EMULSION E-2353 is a hard, all acrylic emulsion designed for use in factory applied, waterborne, interior and exterior wood coatings. Its self crosslinkable chemistry offers good exterior durability and is recommended for interior/exterior primers and topcoats. If EMULSION E-2353 is too hard, it can be blended with a soft polymer, such as RHOPLEXTM AC-261. It can also be reacted with melamine formaldehyde resins, the combination of which offers an extremely durable finish, ideally suited for long term warranty applications.

RHOPLEX® HA-16 is a firm binder with excellent durability. It offers formulating flexibility with additives due to its nonionic nature and is especially suggested for battery separators and other industrial nonwoven applications.

PARALOID™ B-99N 100% Resin is unique in its compatibility with short and medium oil alkyds. Blended with alkyds, it improves the drying speed, gasoline resistance, and durability characteristics of the alkyds. It also demonstrates excellent pigment dispersing properties and significantly upgrades the gloss of other acrylic resins and film formers when used as the grinding medium.

ELVACE® 757 is a surfactant stabilized vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsion.

COPRO® CP-505 is used in carpet backing adhesives and waterborne adhesives. It features excellent filler acceptance, stability, binding, flexibility, and improved cohesive and wet strength. It also enhances water resistance. The product functions as a binder and resin.

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.

UCECOAT® 6569 is a water dilutable aliphatic urethane acrylate oligomer containing approx. 5% water. UCECOAT® 6569 can be used to formulate UV/EB curable waterborne wood coatings as well as screen printing inks and varnishes. Cured films containing UCECOAT® 6569 demonstrate good adhesion to a variety of wood types, along with good flexibility, resistance to yellowing, and resistance to water and solvents. UCECOAT® 6569 based coatings can be re-coated after curing.

EBECRYL® 4513 is an aliphatic urethane acrylate supplied for use in formulations of ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) energy curable coatings. EBECRYL® 4513 exhibits elastic properties making it suitable for use flexible substrates. Coatings formulated with EBECRYL® 4513 also demonstrate high chemical and wear resistance and are highly resistant to yellowing.

VANCRYL® 989 is a high glass transition temperature acrylic emulsion for the graphic arts industry. Excellent gloss and fast drying rates can be obtained by utilizing VANCRYL® 989 in inks and coatings. It is suitable for both flexographic and gravure printing on paper substrates. VANCRYL® 989 has excellent compatibility with pigment dispersions and alcohols. Inks formulated with this product have good transfer, printability, and resolubility. Because it is a hard polymer, VANCRYL® 989 can also be formulated as a high gloss over print varnish with very good heat, water, oil, and scuff resistance.

POLYCO™ 2160 is Carboxylated Polyvinyl Acetate Homopolymer with excellent mechanical stability and very low grit levels. Medium particle size with good pigment binding ability and excellent water resistance. Minimizes "water interference mottle" in offset printing and offers good ink receptivity, glueability, and brightness with very low odor.

VANCRYL® 927 is a medium glass transition temperature acrylic emulsion for the graphic arts industry. Excellent gloss can be obtained by utilizing VANCRYL® 927 in inks and coatings. Its film formation properties, coupled with its rapid water release, result in very fast drying. It is suitable for both flexographic and gravure printing on paper substrates. VANCRYL® 927 has excellent compatibility with pigment dispersions and alcohols. Inks formulated with VANCRYL® 927 have good transfer, printability, and resolubility for high-quality printing on various paper substrates (including metalized paper) and aluminum foil. VANCRYL® 927 can also be formulated as a high gloss OPV that will very quickly develop water, oil, and scuff resistance.

RHOPLEX® AC-347 is a binder and resin used in waterborne paint applications, functioning as a binder.

PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin is a very hard methyl methacrylate polymer with enhanced adhesion properties. It is supplied as a 30% solution in a toluene/MEK/butanol solvent system. The polymer is also available in solid grade form. PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin is similar to PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin in characteristics and uses but because of its solvent system, PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin possesses better compatibility with cellulosics, such as nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate butyrate. PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin also will allow a higher solids content at spray viscosity.
