Encor® 2701

Encor® 2701 is a water-borne acrylic emulsion produced by Arkema. It's notable for being APEO-free (APEO stands for alkylphenol ethoxylates, which are chemicals sometimes used in emulsions but are increasingly avoided due to environmental concerns). This emulsion is soluble in alkalis and is primarily used for roller-applied fillers, particularly in applications like wood paneling. It has a high glass transition temperature, which means it maintains its integrity at higher temperatures.

Here are some key technical details:
