The Dow Chemical Co. (DOW) has introduced
RHOPLEX Deck and Concrete Restoration (DCR) Binders for restoration
coatings at the ongoing 2014 American Coatings Show (ACS) being
held at Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA. This binder
helps existing wooden decks and concrete porches at outdoor
gathering places revive their look and remodel them back to their
earlier attractive appearance that has been ravaged by harsh winter
weather.
Instead of spending thousands of dollars on repairing and replacing
damaged decks or porches, one can use RHOPLEX DCR binders that
resist dirt and staining, and have flexibility and resistance to
cracking.
RHOPLEX DCR binders, which do not include alkylphenol ethoxylate
(APEO) surfactant in its composition, are developed and tested by
Dow Coating Materials scientists. These binders are exposed to the
elements over coated, well-weathered wood and concrete substrates
at the Dow Exposure Station in Spring House, PA.
RHOPLEX DCR-317 and RHOPLEX DCR-113 binders build on the signature
durability of RHOPLEX 100% Acrylic Binder Technology, and are
tailor-made binders specially designed to meet the unique needs of
deck and concrete restoration coatings in this rapidly growing
market segment.
Another chemical company Celanese Corp. (CE) has
also launched, at the ACS, a set of new emulsion products namely,
EcoVAE 450, Avicor 385 and Avicor 390 for architectural paints. The
company is also exhibiting at the show, its varied product line for
the coatings and adhesives industries including solvents, vinyl
acetate monomer, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymers and
emulsions.
The newly launched set of emulsion products provides solutions to
many of the industry’s issues including low-volatile organic
compounds (VOC) primers, stain resistance and broad formulation
latitude.
Dow Chemical currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Other companies in the chemical industry worth considering
include Methanex Corp. (MEOH) and Olin
Corp. (OLN). While Methanex holds a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong
Buy), Olin carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
