SYNTRAN® Polymers
For adhesive applications

INTERPOLYMER offers a range of waterbased acrylics that can be used as lamination adhesives or primers based on
muliple propriery technologies (bimodal, cationic and high solids). These technologies all impart unique properties to the
finished coating:

Bimodal technology combines two different ionic structures in the same polymer network increasing the adhesion to
multiple substrates.. This technology allows a formulator to take advantage of the benefits of a cationic acrylic without the
traditional compatibility issues.

Cationic technology allows the formulation of universal primers with excellent adhesion on multiple substrates.

High solids technology creates a film with very high flexibility, excellent water resistance, and excellent coverage.
This technology also allows for excellent adhesion over multiple substrate types.

SYNTRAN® Polymers
For use in floor finish coatings

INTERPOLYMER offers multiple waterbased polymers designed for use in removable floor finishes. All of these
technologies allow for high gloss, high abrasion resistance, low maintenance, and high speed burnishing floor finishes that
are still removable with standard stripping solutions.

The MEGATRAN® brand is based on our styrenated acrylic, zinc-crosslinked technology. This unique technology was
designed specifically for use in extremely high gloss, removable floor finishes.

Under our SYNTRAN® brand, we have developed both an all-acrylic, zinc-crosslinked technology and a proprietary
“green” crosslinking technology. The green technology combines the traditional waterbased styrene-acrylate copolymer
and proprietary self-crosslinking system that will add extended life time to green floor polishes.

SYNTRAN®
Grafted Waxes
For enhanced mechanical resistances

INTERPOLYMER offers a range of acrylic-olefin wax grafted emulsions based on our patented technology. Wax
emulsions are important ingredients of these film-forming formulations and they complement the properties of the polymer
dispersions, in particular wear properties but that is not only what they do.

Product Range
SYNTRAN® PA series

pH Solids (%) Melting Point (°C) Comment

PA1445 9.2 40 80-100 Slip resistance, gloss, water- and detergent-resistances

PA1465 9.2 38 90-110 Slip resistance, excellent response to buffing

PA1475 9.2 38 85-105 Slip resistance, anti-block, high formulation compatibility

The SYNTRAN® PA series allow formulators to achieve slip resistance, buffability, water resistance, gloss and flexibility.
They are based on our patented acrylic-polyethylene wax graft technology which consists in grafting an amorphous
functional acrylic polymer onto a crystalline olefin backbone. The grafted acrylate chain hinders the natural migration of
the lower density olefin to the surface during drying. The result is a more uniform film composition which improves the
appearance and performance of coatings.

Wax emulsion and polymer dispersion are chemically

different and tend to separate during drying process. This
effect can occur during storage of the coating.

SYNTRAN® Polymers
For enhanced architectural paints

INTERPOLYMER offers a range of waterbased acrylics that can be used in architectural paints based on muliple propriery
technologies (bimodal, opacifier, self-crosslinking and high solids). These technologies all impart unique properties to the
finished paint:

Bimodal technology combines two different ionic structures in the same polymer network increasing the adhesion to
multiple substrates, wood tannin blocking, stain blocking and dye blocking. This technology allows a formulator to take
advantage of the benefits of a cationic acrylic without the traditional compatibility issues.

Opacifier technology can be used to replace a percentage of titanium dioxide used in white paints, while maintaining the
same or similar coverage. The ideal reduction level of titanium dioxide is approximately 15%, when using this technology.
Higher reduction of titanium dioxide levels can be achieved, but you may experience a slight loss in coverage of the paint.

Self-crosslinking technology combines two different crosslinking mechanisms on the same polymer backbone, which
substantially increase the chemical resistance, stain resistance and water resistance of the cured polymer film. This
technology was designed for the self-crosslinking mechanism to fully cure at room temperature, but maintain standard,
long-term shelf stability.

High solids technology creates a film with very high flexibility, excellent water resistance, and excellent coverage. This
technology also allows for excellent adhesion over multiple substrate types.

Waterbased Polymers
General Technology Overview

INTERPOLYMER offers a range of waterbased acrylics and waxes based on proprietary technologies that can be used in
multiple coatings applications. These polymers are used in multiple markets to give improved performance over
traditional acrylic emulsions. Since these technologies are Interpolymer internally developed, we are able to tailor make
solutions to meet our customers’ requirements.

Below is an overview of each of our proprietary technologies:

Bimodal Technology based on a patented process that combines two different ionic structures in the same polymer
network increasing the adhesion to multiple substrates, wood tannin blocking, stain blocking and dye blocking. This
technology allows a formulator to take advantage of the benefits of a cationic acrylic without the traditional compatibility
issues.

Opacifier Technology based on polystyrene for whiteness & brightness at low levels in household products . They can
also be used to replace a percentage of titanium dioxide used in white paints, while maintaining the same coverage.

Self-Crosslinking Technology combines two different crosslinking mechanisms on the same polymer backbone, which
substantially increase the chemical resistance, stain resistance and water resistance of the cured polymer film. This
technology was designed for the self-crosslinking mechanism to fully cure at room temperature, but maintain standard,
long-term shelf stability.

Shell-Core / Hybrid Technology based on a proprietary process combining polymer types into the same network to
improve film formation and overall physical properties.

High Solids Technology creates a film with very high flexibility, excellent water resistance, and excellent coverage. This
technology also allows for excellent adhesion over multiple substrate types.

SYNTRAN 6145 is based on a patented bimodal technology with film-forming properties. This technology combining two
different ionic structures in the same polymer network increases the adhesion to multiple substrates, wood tannin
blocking, stain blocking and dye blocking. This technology allows a formulator to take advantage of the good aspects of a
cationic acrylic without the traditional compatibility issues.

SYNTRAN® Polymers
For wood coatings

INTERPOLYMER offers a range of waterbased acrylics that can be used in wood coatings based on muliple propriery
technologies (bimodal and self-crosslinking). These technologies all impart unique properties to the finished coatings:

Bimodal technology combines two different ionic structures in the same polymer network increasing the adhesion to
multiple substrates, wood tannin blocking, stain blocking and dye blocking. This technology allows a formul ator to take
advantage of the benefits of a cationic acrylic without the traditional compatibility issues.

Self-crosslinking technology combines two different crosslinking mechanisms on the same polymer backbone, which
substantially increase the chemical resistance, stain resistance and water resistance of the cured polymer film. This
technology was designed for the self-crosslinking mechanism to fully cure at room temperature, but maintain standard,
long-term shelf stability.

Product Range
SYNTRAN® acrylics

pH Solids (%) MFFT (°C) Comment

6130 8.8 40 52°C Bimodal film with excellent wear resistance and adhesion properites
6145 7.5 40 < 10°C Bimodal film with excellent tannin blocking and adhesion properties
1655 8.0 40 74°C Self-crosslinking film with excellent wear and chemical resistances
1693 7.5 42 < 20°C Self-crosslinking film with excellent water and chemical resistances

These SYNTRAN® acrylic polymers are used in multiple markets to give improved performance over traditional acrylic
emulsions. Since these are an Interpolymer internally developed technology, we are able to develop tailor-made solutions
based on customer requirements.

Applications
 Furniture and kitchen cabinet coatings
 Flooring, decks, and fence coatings
 Sanding, stain and all-in-one sealers
 Tannin blocking sealers
