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.

MAINCOTE™ IC-1001 Resin is an acrylic-styrene copolymer with a high degree of flexibility and a distinct hydrophobic composition. This versatile binder can be combined with low thermal conductivity fillers to form waterborne thermal insulation coatings with high pigment volume concentrations (PVC), high volume solids and low VOC. MAINCOTE IC-1001 Resin offers uniform cure in high build insulation coatings.

RHOPLEX® E-32 NP are self-crosslinking polymers which offer excellent strength and solvent resistance to both durable and disposable nonwovens. It performs well with synthetic fibers, cellulosics and blends and can be used on conventional bonding, drying and curing lines. This water-based emulsion is hydrophilic, impart an intermediate hand and are suitable where maximum durability to washing or dry cleaning is required.

RHOPLEX® ST-954 is an APE free acrylic emulsion used in the manufacture of soft and durable nonwoven webs such as those used in apparel interlinings or interfacings. Webs using this binder possess excellent resistance to degradation from dry cleaning and laundering together with the softness required of typical apparel applications. Nonwovens bonded with RHOPLEX® ST-954 not only have the strength characteristics of stiffer binders, and binders of comparable softness crosslinked with a melamine- formaldehyde resin, but do so without compromising hand. The improved balance of strength and softness in this acrylic binder results from an advanced emulsion manufacturing technology.

D.E.R.® 672U Solid Epoxy Resin is a novolac modified, high molecular weight, solid reaction product of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A.

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

NANOCRYL® C 130 shows the highest performance in scratch- and abrasion-resistance without influencing gloss or transparency of the cured UV-coating.

EBECRYL® 767 is used in radiation-curable coatings and functions as a binder and resin in CASE ingredients.

RHOPLEX® AC-1034 is a styrenated acrylic copolymer with a distinct composition that imparts excellent water resistance as well as a good degree of flexibility. It is designed for use in edge- sealer products and offers very good compatibility with high levels of waxes and fillers, which are often used in such products. RHOPLEX® AC-1034 can also be used as a clear primer or sealer coat to provide water resistance.

EBECRYL® 50 is the tetraacrylate ester of 5 mole ethoxylated pentaerythritol. It is a low viscosity diluting oligomer characterized by low odor and light color. EBECRYL® 50 provides fast cure response in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) cured coatings and inks. Besides its high reactivity, EBECRYL® 50 improves the hardness and solvent resistance of cured coatings and inks. EBECRYL® 50 is particularly useful in offset inks, flexo inks and overprint varnishes.

Staybelite® Ester 5 rosin is the glycerol ester of partially hydrogenated gum rosin, specially processed for superior taste and odour characteristics. It is a pale, thermoplastic rosin with excellent resistance to oxidation and discoloration. Its principal use is in chewing gum bases where it imparts masticatory properties in combination with polymers and other ingredients. The oxidation resistance of Staybelite Ester 5 resin helps finished chewing gums retain chewability, consistency and flavour throughout their shelf lives.

D.E.R.® 337-X80 epoxy resin is a semi-solid reaction product of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol a dissolved in xylene.

EBECRYL® 898 is a special purpose, 100% solids polyester acrylate resins that enables matte finishes in UV energy curable coatings, including ultra-matte coatings of <5 gloss (60°). It is compatible with other common acrylate resin types and is effective when used with typical silica matting agents. EBECRYL® 898 does not compromise performance properties such as chemical and stain resistance.

Platamid® M 1657 is a standard thermoplastic co-polyamide hot melt adhesive available in pellet form. This very low melt viscosity, fast re- crystallizing grade is particularly suitable for manufacturing webs, nets, mono- and multi-filaments.

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.
