RHOPLEX™ EC-2848 Emulsion Polymer

What is RHOPLEX™ EC-2848 Emulsion Polymer?

Designed to provide elastomeric coatings with an excellent balance of elongation, tensile strength and dirt pickup resistance over a wide temperature range.

Uses

Elastomeric Coatings

Benefits

100% acrylic composition – Outstanding exterior durability
Dirt-resistant chemistry – Maintains attractive appearance
Low glass transition temperature (Tg = -35°C) – Enables coating to maintain flexibility and bridge cracks
Permeable to water vapor – Permits water vapor in substrate to escape
Controls moisture buildup in walls
Ultraviolet resistance – Improves chalk resistance and tint retention
Internally plasticized – Permanently flexible
Eliminates the need for external plasticizer
Waterborne – Simple handling and cleaning
High Solids (61%) – Increased free-water for wider formulating and manufacturing latitude
