Improve your polymers with. CARBIDE'S higher acrylates LATEX P A I N T S — B y u s i n g low concentrations of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate copolymerized with vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, o r styrene, you can obtain excellent, internally plasticized resins. Also, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate improves low temperature coalescing properties, color retention, and water and alkali resistance. SPECIALTY RUBBERSL-Copoly merize butvl acrvlate with acrylonitrile to get h o t oil and ozone resistant rubbers useful for tough gasketing applications.
