RHOPLEX® 585 is a 100% acrylic binder designed for premium exterior performance in flat and satin Architectural Coatings. It is supplied at high solids for formulation flexibility and does not contain any APEO (alkyl phenol ethoxylate) surfactants. The low coalescent demand of RHOPLEX® 585 allows the formulator to meet the 50g/VOC regulations while still maintaining some freeze thaw stability. Due to its 100% acrylic composition, RHOPLEX® 585 offers good exterior durability.

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.

RHOPLEX® EC-2848 is designed to provide elastomeric coatings with an excellent balance of elongation, tensile strength and dirt pickup resistance over a wide temperature range. The elongation properties of the polymer allow coatings to bridge dimensionally unstable cracks without rupturing. It also provides an excellent balance of toughness and elasticity at both low and high temperatures without sacrificing dirt pickup resistance. Coatings based on RHOPLEX® EC-2848 retain an attractive appearance as they age.

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.

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® 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® 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.

RHOPLEX® PR-409 is an aqueous, all-acrylic binder designed for premium performance in universal stain blocking primer, primerless paint and solid color stain applications. The excellent film forming characteristics of RHOPLEX® PR-409, combined with ambient crosslinking, provides coatings with superior performance. Coatings based on RHOPLEXTM PR-409 exhibit excellent adhesion to various new and repaint surfaces, stain blocking (household and tannin), exterior crack resistance, efflorescence resistance, tint retention and corrosion resistance.

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. The in-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® VSR-50C Binder 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-50C Binder 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.

RHOPLEX® 2500 is designed for tough, water-resistant masonry paints and primers. Coatings based on RHOPLEX® 2500 possess very good adhesion to masonry substrates, excellent durability (gloss and tint retention, and dirt pickup resistance), and the ability to retard efflorescence in cured cementitious products.
