ACRYLIC BINDERS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS (MAINCOTE™, ROSHIELD™, PRIMAL™, PROSPERSE™)
Maintenance and protective coatings
Offering environmental, health, and safety benefits, as well as proven performance in real world exposures, waterborne acrylics are an excellent choice for painting in light- to medium-duty environments. Dow advances in acrylic latex design and formulations are expanding the utility of waterborne acrylic coatings to more demanding environments across a range of metal substrates, including structural steel, chemical and processing equipment, storage tanks and commercial architecture.
Floor coatings
Making the switch from solventborne to waterborne concrete coatings brings many immediate advantages, including lower VOC emissions, lower odor and reduced fire hazard. Waterborne acrylic resins from Dow can combine enhanced user safety with high performance properties, including excellent resistance to water blushing, low water pickup, low coalescent demand, good exterior weatherability, and reduced water vapor permeability.
Wood coatings
Market driven interest in lowering VOCs and HAPS are giving wood and composite wood manufacturers strong incentives to replace solventborne coatings with waterborne alternatives. Dow high-performance acrylic binders for furniture, kitchen cabinets, molding joinery and other wood and engineered wood products are low VOC capable and offer performance properties that are comparable to solventborne standards including excellent chemical and stain resistance, scratch and mar resistance, early block and print resistance and excellent film clarity.
