What is ROVACE™ Nueva 4838 Emulsion?
A modified vinyl-acrylic emulsion designed to offer improved hydrophobic performance compared to conventional vinyl emulsions. It is recommended for architectural paints intended for interior and/or exterior use. This polymer was specifically developed for use in standard or economy formulation segments, where stronger binding power is required. When combined with the appropriate extenders, ROVACE™ NueVA 4838 Emulsion can deliver excellent hiding power. It allows for the formulation of products with a wide range of finishes, from matte to semi-gloss.
Uses
- Interior and Exterior flat through semigloss architectural paints
Benefits

(1) Manufactured without the use of alkylphenol ethoxylate (APEO) surfactants.
(2) Formaldehyde is a ubiquitous substance in our environment. Currently, there is no regulatory or industry-accepted definition of “formaldehyde-free.” Therefore, we deliberately refrain from using the term “formaldehyde-free.” However, for ROVACE™ NueVa 4838 Emulsion, we do not intentionally add formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing agents.
