ARKEMA COATING RESINS: Acrylic Binder

This company, a business unit of Arkema Inc., has introduced ENCOR^® 662 acrylic latex, a new high-performance all-acrylic binder that reportedly delivers washability and scrub and stain resistance in low-VOC interior architectural coatings.

The acrylic latex was designed for higher value paint formulations. It is reportedly the highest performing all-acrylic product in the company’s portfolio.

“Product developers at Arkema have been continually working on improving scrub and stain resistance,” said John Hiel, North American marketing manager. “ENCOR 662 technology is the latest result of that research. It enables coating formulators to develop flat and semi-gloss paints and coatings with extremely good washability and excellent scrub resistance properties.”
