Stains that look good and last longer
Developing architectural deck stains that are easy to apply, look good and stand up to the harsh elements – all the while meeting challenging VOC requirements – is one of the tougher things for a formulator to do. Whether a solid color stain, a semitransparent stain or a clear sealer, RHOPLEX™ acrylic binders can be formulated for the best-in-class deck stain attributes including:
- Good adhesion to new, weathered or previously coated wood substrates, as well as some of the latest composite materials
- Improved early water resistance and excellent water-whitening resistance
- Superior application and lapping properties
- Excellent color and tint retention, even under the toughest UV conditions
- Great abrasion and wear resistance
- Unique erosion mechanisms to minimize unsightly flaking and peeling failures
- Proven exterior durability and long-term performance based on years of field testing
- Ability to formulate across a range of sheens from flat to semi-gloss
- Ability to get to solvent-like performance but in a low-VOC solution
