Warmer weather is right around the corner, which means that backyard barbeques, pool parties and picnics will be in full swing before we know it. The last thing you’ll want to be doing is worrying about the look and durability of your deck, or worse, replacing the damaged wood or concrete.
At the 2014 American Coatings Show, Dow introduces RHOPLEX™ Deck and Concrete Restoration (DCR) Binders for restoration coatings, helping reduce the stress associated with repairing, or high cost of replacing, a deck or patio.
“The harsh weather that has plagued most of the U.S. this winter has led to wear and tear on outdoor gathering places,” said Sylvia Insogna, North American marketing director, Dow Coating Materials. “Instead of spending thousands of dollars on deck replacement, RHOPLEX DCR Binders help revive existing wood decks and concrete patios that have been beaten down by the elements, and transform them back into attractive entertainment areas.”
RHOPLEX DCR Binders were developed and tested by Dow Coating Materials scientists, exposed to the elements over coated, well-weathered wood and concrete substrates at the Dow Exposure Station in Spring House, Penn. The binders offer outstanding resistance to dirt and staining, and feature excellent flexibility and resistance to cracking. RHOPLEX DCR Binders are manufactured without the use of alkylphenol ethoxylate (APEO) surfactant, and can be formulated to low VOC.
“Designed specifically for this rapidly growing market segment, RHOPLEX DCR-317 and RHOPLEX DCR-113 Binders build on the signature durability of RHOPLEX 100% Acrylic Binder Technology,” said Insogna. “These new binders were developed to meet the unique needs of deck and concrete restoration coatings.”
