EBECRYL® 3415 is a modified bisphenol A epoxy acrylate diluted with 40% 1, 6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA). This acrylated epoxy was developed for ultraviolet light (UV) curable screen printing, and exhibits excellent reactivity and good adhesion to various non-porous substrates. EBECRYL® 3415 meets all regulatory requirements and is no longer subject to the Significant New Use Rule (SNUR).

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. The product 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.

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.

EBECRYL® 8894 is an aliphatic urethane acrylate, diluted in butyl acetate, designed for applications requiring high humidity and abrasion resistance. Films of EBECRYL® 8894 cured via exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit excellent exterior durability, good toughness and flexibility, as well as the non-yellowing properties typical of an aliphatic urethane.

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.).

RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion has been designed for use in factory-applied clear topcoats for wood requiring the highest levels of appearance and surface hardness characteristics. Lacquers based on RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion are translucent in the can and upon application turn clear very rapidly while drying. RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion was developed for use in topcoat finishes and as such does not provide optimum appearance qualities if used as a sealer. In multi-coat systems, the finest overall appearance is obtained when RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion is used over specialized sealer formulations. It is recommended that RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion be used over sealers formulated from RHOPLEX® CL-105 emulsion. In this manner, RHOPLEX® CL-105 emulsion contributes excellent wood fiber wetting, appearance characteristics, and early sandability to the system while RHOPLEX® CL-106 emulsion provides a topcoat with hardness, mar resistance, and clarity. The volatile organic content (VOC) of typically formulated clear topcoat lacquers is less than 2.3 lb/gal and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are 0.3 lb HAPs/lb solids.

RHOPLEX® AC-2829 is a binder and resin used in architectural coatings, automotive OEM coatings, automotive and transportation, industrial applications, paints and coatings, and textile manufacturing. It functions as a binder in industrial additives.

EBECRYL® 83 is an amine modified polyether acrylate that exhibits low viscosity and fast cure via exposure to ultraviolet light (UV). Films of EBECRYL 83 cured by UV or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss, solvent resistance and low residual odor. EBECRYL 83 is especially suited to applications requiring low viscosity and fast UV cure, including overprint varnishes and flexographic inks.

EBECRYL® LED 02, a mercapto modified polyester acrylate resin, can be added as a co-resin to UV curable formulations. EBECRYL LED 02 transforms formulations into UV LED, UVA, or low energy curable systems by providing better surface cure. In addition, this co-resin can also be used to obtain better surface cure in high energy cure formulations. EBECRYL LED 02 provides better surface cure by mitigating oxygen inhibition of the free radical process.

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.

EBECRYL® 8405 is an aliphatic urethane tetraacrylate diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA)(1). Films of EBECRYL 8405 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) combine abrasion resistance, flexibility, and adhesion with excellent exterior durability and resistance to yellowing.

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

MAINCOTE™ PR-71 is used for all protective coating applications, the first need is for adhesion to and passivation of the substrate. In the past, difficult-to-adhere-to substrates were often treated with a vinyl wash primer to passivate the substrate and provide adhesion for subsequent coats. These vinyl wash primers are increasingly difficult to use as they are very low in solids, high in VOC, and contain toxic pigments. In contrast, MAINCOTE™ PR-71 Waterborne Acrylic Resin allows the coatings manufacturer to supply primers that not only adhere to difficult metallic substrates, but also give good corrosion resistance over carbon steel. This resin's ability to be topcoated by most solvent-based coating systems makes it a very versatile water-based primer.

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.

EBECRYL® 608 is a bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate diluted approximately 27% by weight with the reactive diluent OTA- 480, propoxylated glycerol triacrylate. EBECRYL® 608 exhibits light color and very fast cure response. Films of EBECRYL® 608 cured via exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high surface hardness and gloss, low residual odor and excellent chemical resistance.
