EVOQUE™ 3150 100% Acrylic Emulsion was developed for increased titanium dioxide efficiency for improved hiding or equal hiding at lower TiO₂ loadings. EVOQUE™ 3150 100% Acrylic Emulsion also employs ambient crosslinking technology which improves household stain resistance performance and chemical resistance properties. Overall exterior durability is expected to be excellent based on previous commercial versions of EVOQUE™ technology.

FASTRACK™ 5408 functions as a binder and resin.

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.

EBECRYL® 4587 is a solvent-free, water emulsifiable aliphatic urethane acrylate, for use in ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings

ACOUSTICRYL™ AV-1420 is powered by the AVANSE™M Resin Technology, is an acrylic copolymer emulsion designed specifically for the use in sprayable waterborne damping coatings.

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.

RHOPLEX® 4400 is a 100% acrylic latex binder designed to provide wide formulation latitude for caulks and sealants. These high solids, low Tg emulsion can be formulated without plasticizer to meet the performance requirements of ASTM C920 Class 12.5 to 35 and ASTM C-834 Grade -18°. Sealants formulated with RHOPLEX® 4400 provide reduced dirt pick-up, mildew growth and paint discoloration, as well as excellent weatherability.

EBECRYL® 810 is a polyester tetraacrylate that exhibits low viscosity and good cure response. Films of EBECRYL 810 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate surface hardness, chemical resistance and generally good adhesion. EBECRYL® 810 is particularly suited to application methods requiring low viscosity such as solventless spray and vacuum coating.

RHOPLEX® AC-2235M is a 100% acrylic binder designed for use in exterior flat and sheen latex housepaints. The polymer provides a high degree of adhesion and durability. Film build and flow and leveling, however, are not as good as with newer acrylic binders. RHOPLEX® AC-2235M Acrylic Emulsion Polymer is designed to provide the same properties and performance as RHOPLEX® AC-235 in paint formulations, but at a lower price. RHOPLEX® AC-2235M may be substituted on a pound- for-pound basis for RHOPLEX® AC-235. As with any raw material substitution, key properties, such as adhesion and color acceptance, should be evaluated.

ROPAQUE™ ULTRA Opaque Polymer is a pigment used in architectural coatings, automotive OEM coatings, and industrial coatings.

RHOBARR™ 110 is acrylic barrier coating emulsion for paper and paperboard applications

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.

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.

RHOPLEX® I-545 is a versatile all-acrylic aqueous vehicle suitable for overprint varnishes and letdowns for flexographic and gravure ink applications. It is a hard film former that offers a distinct combination of properties - good gloss, heat resistance and water resistance with fast drying speed. On press, RHOPLEX® I-545 has excellent transfer and printability with good resolubility for ease of clean-up.
