This article describes a new higher-block-resistance VAE under development that significantly minimizes the trade off between block resistance and scrub resistance in VAE-only paints. Additionally, this new VAE continues to maintain high scrub resistance even in low-sheen paints, enabling the formulator to use a single-VAE binder across all sheens.
