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.

MAINCOTE™ EC-11 is an acrylic polymer recommended for use in elastomeric coatings for industrial maintenance applications on both metal and cementitious substrates. When formulated as an anti-corrosive coating, MAINCOTE™ EC-11 Acrylic Emulsion can be applied to both clean and marginally-prepared rusty steel, and imparts excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion, low temperature flexibility and dirt pickup resistance. When applied to concrete surfaces, MAINCOTE™ EC-11 Acrylic Emulsion provides excellent resistance to blistering and the stresses imparted by thermal cycling. It is especially useful in applications where prevention of spalling and scaling of the concrete surface, caused by exposure to water and deicing chemicals, is required. The proper formulation and elastomeric nature of MAINCOTE™ EC-11 Acrylic Emulsion facilitates the production of coatings with excellent flexibility, very low VOC levels (< 50 g/L), and the ability to be applied in thick films (e.g., 10-20 mils dry) without sagging or mudcracking.

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.

COPRO® SP-490 is a multi-functional acrylic emulsion polymer.

Bluesil™ FLD 21648 is a medium viscosity amino functionalized siloxane, specially developed for the formulation of elastomeric coatings destined for use in textile applications, waterproofing of substrates, or polishes.
