RHOPLEX® AC-464 is a binder and resin used in waterborne paint applications, functioning as a binder.

RHOPLEX® PR-33 is an aqueous, all-acrylic, binder designed for exterior and interior primers and stain blocking sealers. This binder uses ambient cross linking technology to offer improved primer performance versus conventional latex polymers. The combination of an all-acrylic backbone and ambient cure crosslinking technology contribute to the excellent balance of properties found with RHOPLEX® PR-33 Emulsion Polymer. The excellent film formation achieved blocks stains from migrating through the dry paint film and yields stain blocking performance at high PVC. Enhanced adhesion and excellent durability are additional attributes of this technology.

RHOPLEX® DCR-113 is an aqueous all acrylic emulsion polymer designed for formulating into high solids Deck and, Concrete Restoration coatings. Low VOC, APEO-free restoration coatings can be formulated with RHOPLEX® DCR-113 to provide excellent abrasion resistance and flexibility, in addition to adhesion to concrete and well-weathered wood.

PARALOID™ AU-608B are acrylic polyols specifically designed to produce hard, resistant, durable coatings when reacted with aliphatic isocyanates. The exceptional properties of these coatings have led to increased use in such heavy duty maintenance applications as chemical plant storage tanks and offshore rigs and platforms.

AVANSE™ ST-410 is a new high-performance, 100% acrylic, waterborne polymer can be formulated to meet the toughest VOC standards and still outperform traditional solvent and waterborne semitransparent stain technologies. Semitransparent stains based on AVANSE™ ST-410 Acrylic Emulsion do not require coalescent or heavy metal driers, they are easy to apply, and they enhance the appearance of new and weathered wood with a long-lasting finish. In addition, the combination of morphology and unique particle stabilization maximizes the flow and lapping characteristics during application, while building early resistance properties upon drying.

RHOPLEX® DCR-317 is an aqueous all-acrylic emulsion polymer designed for formulating into high solids Deck and, Concrete Restoration coatings. Restoration coatings can be formulated with RHOPLEX® DCR-317 Binder to help provide excellent flexibility and dirt pick- up resistance, in addition to adhesion to concrete and well-weathered wood.

PARALOID™ AU-608S Resin are acrylic polyols specifically designed to produce hard, resistant, durable coatings when reacted with aliphatic isocyanates. The exceptional properties of these coatings have led to increased use in such heavy duty maintenance applications as chemical plant storage tanks and offshore rigs and platforms.

PARALOID™ AU-608X Resin are acrylic polyols specifically designed to produce hard, resistant, durable coatings when reacted with aliphatic isocyanates. The exceptional properties of these coatings have led to increased use in such heavy duty maintenance applications as chemical plant storage tanks and offshore rigs and platforms.

TAMOL® 165A is a high-performance dispersant for latex gloss through flat paints. It is an ammonium salt of a hydrophobic copolymer dispersant that offers enhanced properties to latex paints, resulting in improved water resistance, wet adhesion, early blister resistance, water spot resistance, and corrosion resistance.

RHOPLEX® PR-409AF is an aqueous, all-acrylic binder designed for premium performance in universal stain blocking primers and primer-less paints. It’s distinct molecular weight distribution, combined with ambient crosslinking enables excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates without the use of APEO surfactants1. Coatings based on RHOPLEX® PR-409AF provide robust adhesion to metals, wood, masonry, cementitious, ceramic, alkyd and especially aged chalky substrates. The great compatibility of RHOPLEX® PR-409AF with zinc oxide can further enhance the exceptional stain blocking (household and tannin) and efflorescence of primers made with it. This binder further affords step out performance with the unusual combination of superior crack resistance combined with excellent dirt pick up resistance.

Flexricin® P-4 is a clear, low viscosity, low temperature plasticizer for many resin systems in the production of low durometer stock. It functions as a general purpose plasticizer and processing aid, and imparts exceptional cold crack resistance to flexible nitrocellulose lacquers.

RHOPLEX® Multilobe™ 200 gives you the outstanding durability, tint retention, and dirt resistance you've come to expect from an all-acrylic binder. And more. Unlike other acrylic binders that contain only spherical particles, RHOPLEX® Multilobe™ 200 contains an optimized level of both spherical and lobed particles. This unique lobed particle geometry enhances brush drag. The result is a binder that provides an extraordinary combination of acrylic durability, film build, chalk adhesion and minimized thickener, and surfactant levels in the paint formulation. RHOPLEX® Multilobe™ 200 saves on raw material costs in that less surfactant is needed for color acceptance in tint bases. Foaming and surfactant leaching are minimized, too.

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® Multilobe™ 400 Emulsion Polymer represents The Dow Chemical Company’s progress in design of an APEO (alkyl phenol ethoxylate) surfactant free binder for low-VOC exterior flat and satin paints, providing excellent durability, color retention, and dirt pick-up resistance.
