What are the key formulating techniques for optimizing an elastomeric weather-barrier formulation based on UCAR Latex 123?
UCAR 123 is a high performance styrene-acrylic latex for use in elastomeric weather-barrier coatings. Elastomeric coatings based on UCAR 123 are resistant to wind driven rain and alkaline conditions, have excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates, and have proven exterior durability both on the UESM test fence and in commercial use. Good formulating techniques are vital to achieving maximum performance with UCAR 123.
