Styrene Acrylic |
Base Polymer |
49.0 |
7.5-8.5 |
+24 |
Suggested as a base polymer for construction adhesives, functional coatings, barriers, clear coats and UV tolerant coating.
Features include high molecular weight, pigment compatibility, and excellent chemical and solvent resistance.
|
| DL460 |
Styrene Butadiene |
Base Resin |
48.0 |
9.5-10.5 |
+4 |
Suggested as a base resin for cement based uses.
Features excellent permeation resistance to salt, water and acid. |
| DL475 |
Styrene Butadiene |
Base Resin |
50.0 |
5.5-6.5 |
+10 |
Suggested as a base resin for tile mastic formulations. Features excellent adhesion, water resistance, and binder efficiency.
|
| TYCHEM* 68710 |
Styrene Butadiene |
Thickener |
34.5 |
3.5-5.5 |
+97 |
An efficient thickener for alkaline aqueous systems including Portland cement based mixtures and adhesive mastics. It can be readily dispersible in cold water and neutralized with ammonia, amines or fixed alkalis. It also imparts a pseudo plastic rheology. |
