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™ B-64 100% Resin can be dissolved in toluene, xylene, selected esters, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone. PARALOID™ B-64 100% Resin is not soluble in most alcohols and aliphatic hydrocarbons as the sole solvent. Please contact your sales person for additional information about the solvent compatibility of PARALOID™ B-64 100% Resin. It is well suited for a variety of applications, including treated metal, copper, zinc, brass, treated aluminum, concrete floors, and certain plastics.

ACRYSOL™ TT-615 is an alkali swellable acrylic polymer emulsion used as either a primary or ancillary thickener in coatings. This product exhibits viscosity build comparable to high molecular weight HEC thickeners at low shear levels. Viscosity is developed by neutralization to a pH of 7 to 10. ACRYSOL™ TT-615 demonstrates greater roller spatter resistance than the cellulostics, but with a more pseudoplastic rheology profile. The liquid physical form of ACRYSOL™ TT-615 facilitates its incorporation into grinds and letdowns.

AVANSE™ MV-100 represents the latest technology in waterborne acrylic polymers for high performance and low VOC industrial maintenance coatings. It provides formulators with a single resin which can be formulated into corrosion-resistant primers, highly durable topcoats, and high gloss direct-to-metal (DTM) finish coats. The novel technology behind the AVANSE™ Resins product line leads to new standards in film gloss, durability, corrosion control, chemical and solvent resistance, and adhesion. One aspect of this new technology is the formation of latex-pigment composite particles, which gives more homogeneous pigment distribution and results in enhanced corrosion resistance. Also, combining a novel polymer composition and the ability to self-crosslink after film formation, AVANSE™ MV-100 Resin offers the ability to formulate high performance coatings with volatile organic content (VOC) at or below 100 g/L. The favorable colloidal stability of AVANSE™ MV-100 Resin accommodates a broad range of formulation types, providing the formulator with a versatile binder for a variety of applications. Formulation robustness, along with 50-51% weight solids, allows the formulator to produce coatings with volume solids above conventional waterborne binders.

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.

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.

MAINCOTE™ 36 Emulsion is an aqueous hydrophobic acrylic copolymer that can be used as an anti-corrosive primer for metal substrates. Primers based on MAINCOTE™ 36 Emulsion have excellent adhesion to most metal substrates, including carbon steel, aluminum, and galvanized steel. MAINCOTE™ 36 Emulsion also has excellent water resistance and good corrosion resistance making it a good primer choice for industrial maintenance, DIY metal primers, and is also suitable for shop applications on structural steel where adhesion, water, and corrosion resistance are key requirements.

ACRYSOL™ RM-2020 E is a solvent-free, non-ionic, urethane associative thickener offering very versatile means of formulating paints with an optimal film build and high shear viscosity. It is specifically designed for applications where a low odour or low VOC is required and specific environmental requirements are needed.

Pavecryl™ Suppress Plus is a dust suppressant used in architectural coatings and automotive OEM coatings.

ACRYSOL™ G-111 is an ammonia neutralized poly-acrylate solution polymer recommended for thickening and stabilizing water based synthetic and natural latexes. It produces thickened latexes of a smooth and consistent texture and is insensitive to sodium, calcium, and magnesium ions.

MAINCOTE™ AEH-10 is a waterborne dispersion of an acrylic-epoxy hybrid polymer designed for high performance two-component coatings useful in residential, commercial and industrial coatings applications. The unique acrylic-epoxy hybrid technology facilitates the formulation of low VOC coatings with long pot-life, fast dry and hardness development, and excellent durability properties including resistance to chemicals, solvents and weathering. Versatility in the selection of curing agent allows the formulation of coatings with a range of properties. MAINCOTE AEH-10 Resin is an epoxy-functional material that can be crosslinked with typical epoxy hardeners, including amine-based hardeners and acid-functional crosslinkers such as acrylic latexes. The ease of formulation and excellent balance of properties facilitated by MAINCOTE AEH-10 Resin make it an excellent choice for coatings used in a variety of residential, commercial and industrial applications.

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.

MAINCOTE™ HG-86ER is a binder and resin classified under chemical mixtures and blends.
