Engineered Polymer Solutions (EPS) launched EPS® 2252, a high solids acrylic emulsion designed to adhere to low-energy substrates commonly used in roofing. Two of these low energy substrates include thermoplastic olefin (TPO) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber.
“The use of TPO and EPDM has increased with repair and new construction projects, but customers were having difficulty coating the membranes,” said Robert Sandoval, R&D Technical Manager. “With that in mind, we set out to develop EPS 2252, a new waterborne acrylic resin with improved adhesion to TPO and EPDM.”
