The technology represents a relatively new coatings category, offering key advantages over bitumen pads. These benefits include excellent damping performance, automated application, reduced weight, multifunctional use and simplified inventory.
OMNOVA Solutions announced the completion of an expansion at its Le Havre, France, manufacturing facility that will enable the company to increase its capacity to produce specialty acrylic resins for waterborne coatings.
ENCOR® Flex 192 is a modified acrylic latex binder designed for coatings used in the restoration of low-slope, commercial thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membranes.
The use of the pigment encapsulating acrylic binder in exterior applications can not only decrease the amount of TiO2 at the same hiding level, bringing possible cost reduction, but can also help to improve exterior durability such as dirt pick up resistance, tint retention and efflorescence resistance.
VeoVa monomer enhances the performance of vinyl acetate- and acrylic-based latices, significantly upgrading key properties such as water and alkali resistance in both polymer systems.
Effective September 20, 2013, or as contracts allow, Arkema Coating Resins will increase the price of acrylic and styrene acrylic latex products sold in North America.
