What is RHOPLEX™ WP-1 Plasticiser?

A medium molecular-weight, low viscosity, non-volatile, polymeric plasticizer that was developed specifically for plasticizing acrylic polymers. It is an excellent plasticizer for acrylic emulsion polymers because it combines good compatibility with unusual permanence properties. It can be used in caulk formulations and waterborne acrylic industrial finishes for wood and metal substrates. RHOPLEX™ WP-1 is a plasticizer used in coatings to reduce film formation temperature and allow for good film formation.
