ENCOR 281

Arkema Coating Resins presents ENCOR™  281 as a first-generation ethylene-modified polymer for use in architectural coatings. The incorporation of ethylene into Arkema Coating Resins technology portfolio presents more options for formulators to address a wide range of latex performance characteristics for low volatile organic compound (VOC) paint binders.

ENCOR™ 281 represents the next evolutionary step in vinyl acetate based binders. This modified vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) polymer combines low VOC technology with improved scrub resistance, touch-up, and block resistance, offering enhanced performance compared to conventional and low VOC vinyl acrylics.

ENCOR™ 281 exhibits the following performance characteristics:

  • Good block resistance in low VOC semigloss and satin formulations
  • Excellent scrub resistance
  • Excellent low-temperature touch-up potential
  • Low VOC formulating capability
