Dow Coating Materials’ binders, dispersants, rheology modifiers and surfactants are designed to add performance and functionality to architectural and industrial coatings, and are on display at Booth 212. Products include:

PARALOID™ Edge isocyanate1-free technology: A first in solventborne two-component (2K) urethane technology, PARALOIDEdge technology boasts a high-performance, ambient crosslinking system that decouples pot life from cure time and is isocyanate-free1 and formaldehyde-free2.The combination of benefits offered by thistechnology make it a distinctive offering in an expanding variety of markets including auto refinishing, agriculture and construction equipment, maintenance and protective coatings for metal, and industrial wood.

MAINCOTE™ AEH acrylic epoxy hybrid: Combining the durability of acrylics with the chemical resistance of epoxies, MAINCOTEAEH resin is a novel hybrid technology for 2Kconcrete coatings that offers ultra-low-VOC capability while lengthening pot life and accelerating dry/cure time.

MAINCOTE™ 4950 acrylic resin: A broad utility binder for low-VOC coatings, MAINCOTE4950 resin offers excellent hardness properties, improved corrosion resistance and high gloss capability. The resincan offer a single resin solution that meets the wide range of regulatory requirements across the variety of applications within commercial architecture without sacrificing sustainability or performance.

ACRYSOL™ RM-725 rheology modifier: Helps developa PVA paint that offers smoother surfaces, more applied hidingand no-drip sag resistance. The rheology modifier isa solvent-free3, easy-pouring HEUR for vinyl acrylic, vinyl acetate ethylene and other acrylic binder systems. Powered by ACID SUPPRESSION™ technology, this next-generation HEUR brings breakthrough sag-flow balance to the contractor paint space, as well as DIY formulations. It is solvent-free3, APEO free4 and contributes to ICI viscosity.

Exterior Wood Applications

Dow offers a broad portfolio of waterborne binder technologies, starting formulations, and technical support to meet exterior wood coating needs.

Semi-Transparent Stains: Highlighting grain and texture while protecting wood, AVANSE™ ST-410 binder is designed for waterborne semi-transparent deck and siding stains, offering advanced UV durability and early water resistance properties.

Solid Color Stains: When more opacity to UV and/or visible light is desired, RHOPLEX™ AC-464, RHOPLEX PR-33 and RHOPLEX409 binders for opaque stains offer excellent adhesion, outstanding exterior durability and enhanced dirt pickup resistance.

Wood Restoration Coatings: Designed to rejuvenate well weathered wood, RHOPLEX DCR-317 and RHOPLEXDCR-113 binders build on Dow’s acrylic chemistry to meet the unique needs of deck and concrete restoration coatings.
