RHOPLEX™ AC-3001 EMULSION
Aqueous Acrylic Vehicle for Coatings Over Cementitious Substrates
Description
RHOPLEX AC-3001 emulsion is a thermoplastic all-acrylic binder designed to be formulated into water resistant
finishes with an excellent balance of early block resistance and coalescent demand. Typical applications for factory
applied coatings based on RHOPLEX AC-3001 cementitious substrates include flat and corrugated fibercement tiles
for facade and roofing, and other concrete elements.
RHOPLEX AC-3001 emulsion can be formulated in pigmented coatings as well as clears for application directly to
uncoated or over prepainted cementitious surfaces. As with all aqueous binders, RHOPLEX AC-3001 should be
carefully formulated to meet the various requirements of different substrates and application line conditions.
