Product Details

RHOPLEX™ WL-96A hard, acrylic-styrene copolymer designed for waterborne clear and pigmented industrial finishes for metal, plastic and wood substrates. Suitable for both ambient and forced dry industrial primers, sealers and lacquers, it facilitates the formulation of low VOC coatings that display rapid hardness development, excellent block and print resistance, and very good chemical and solvent resistance, adhesion and corrosion resistance. 

Benefits

  • Lacquer-like fast drying and rapid hardness development
  • Excellent mar resistance
  • Outstanding block and print resistance
  • VOC-compliant formulations
  • Excellent chemical and stain resistance
  • Good corrosion resistance over metals
  • Good stability when formulated with anti-corrosive pigments
  • Self-thickening, sometimes eliminating the need for additional rheology modifiers

Typical Applications

  • General Industrial Finishes for metal, wood and plastic
  • DIY wood coatings
