Products

Polycin® GR-80 is a 100% solids, castor oil-based derivative designed for use as a primary polyol or reactive diluent in polyurethane sealants and adhesives systems. Polycin® GR-80 imparts low hardness and provides VOC reduction while offering the beneficial properties of castor oil derivatives, such as improved flow and leveling.

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.

Polycin® GR-50 is a 100% solids, castor oil-based derivative designed for use as a primary polyol or reactive diluent in polyurethane sealants and adhesives systems. Polycin® GR-50 imparts low hardness and provides VOC reduction while offering the beneficial properties of castor oil derivatives, such as improved flow and levelling.

Elevast™ D10 are specialty hydrocarbon fluids designed to enhance the performance and processability of a broad range of polymer systems and applications. Elevast efficiently lowers Tg of polyolefins with carefully designed liquid polymer, with minimal change in crystalline properties and without requiring exquisite morphology control.

Elevast™ D50 are specialty hydrocarbon fluids designed to enhance the performance and processability of a broad range of polymer systems and applications. Elevast efficiently lowers Tg of polyolefins with carefully designed liquid polymer, with minimal change in crystalline properties and without requiring exquisite morphology control.

Polycin® GR-160 is a 100% solids, castor oil based derivative designed for use as a primary polyol or reactive diluent in polyurethane sealants and adhesives systems. Polycin® GR-160 imparts medium hardness and provides VOC reduction while offering the beneficial properties of castor oil derivatives, such as improved flow and leveling.

Elevast™ A80 modifiers are specialty hydrocarbon fluids designed to enhance the performance and processability of a broad range of polymer systems and applications. Elevast efficiently lowers Tg of polyolefins with carefully designed liquid polymer, with minimal change in crystalline properties and without requiring exquisite morphology control.

EBECRYL® 4827 is an aromatic urethane diacrylate. Films of EBECRYL® 4827 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit good flexibility, low color and good adhesion to various substrates.

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.

β-CEA is a mixture of reactive esters, each of which contain both acrylate and carboxylic acid functionality in the same molecule. Referring to the included structural formula, this mixture contains some unreacted acrylic acid (n=0), along with higher adducts of acrylic acid (n=1,2,3...). The dimer (n=1). β-CEA, is the largest single component, and the average molecular weight is equivalent to that of the dimer. β-CEA will polymerize when exposed to sources of free radicals. Because of its carboxylic acid functionality, β-CEA is useful as an adhesion promoter.

ELVACE® 741 is a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsion.

EBECRYL® 118 is an aromatic monofunctional acrylate that can be used as a reactive diluent in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curing formulations. EBECRYL® 118 is a good diluent for a variety of acrylated oligomers. In formulations, it can lower Tg and increase flexibility of the UV/EB cured polymer while maintaining strength and toughness and improving substrate adhesion.

EBECRYL® 4857 is a low viscosity, monomer free aliphatic urethane diacrylate which exhibits good flexibility in UV or EB cured films. The resin is designed to exhibit low yellowing and good exterior durability. Due to its low Tg the product is suitable for applications requiring haptic properties (e.g. “soft touch/feel”).

Elevast™ 2M is a low molecular weight hydrocarbon fluid with low pour point and extremely low Glass transition temperature (Tg). Elevast™ 2M can be used as a metalworking fluid, adhesives additive and numerous other applications that require enhancements.
