ENCOR® DT 100
100% Acrylic Latex for Conventional Dry Traffic Paint Applications
Product ENCOR® DT 100 latex is an acrylic latex binder designed for use in general-
Benefits purpose traffic paint formulations requiring standard-dry performance. Typical line
applications for this binder include zone marking for parking lots and garages, and
road markings where “coning” of the lines is possible. This binder has high solids
content for improved dry time and formulating flexibility. It is also shear-stable in
pigment grinds.
pH Value 8.5

ENCOR® DT 250
For Traffic Paint Applications
Product ENCOR® DT 250 latex is a high performance second-generation fast dry latex binder
designed for optimum performance in traffic paints applied at standard line thicknesses
Description of 15 mils wet. This versatile binder can also be for low temperature application
performing comparably to binders designed specifically for low temperature at
standard line thickness. This dual purpose binder exhibits fast drying at high humidity
providing superior early water resistance and wet abrasion resistance in a wide range
of traffic paint formulations. Compared to all-acrylic first and second generation fast
dry latexes, ENCOR® DT 250 latex features exceptional pigment binding efficiency
which permits higher pigment loadings for formula cost reduction.

Figure 1 compares ENCOR® DT 250 with two
commercial acrylic fast dry traffic latexes. The 65
results show that while the commercial fast dry traffic
latexes perform well at standard PVC, ENCOR® DT

higher pigment loadings.

A Methanol-Free Option
ENCOR® DT 250 is one of the few products- that allow alcohol-free formulation of waterborne traffic markings. It can be
formulated with or without methanol. Most waterborne traffic paints contain 2-3 percent methanol, which contributes to the overall
VOC level of a formulation and can generate a measurable flash point in finished paints. When combined with other volatile
solvents; methanol can also contribute to excessive paint skinning and nozzle plugging during warm weather. Methanol-free
formulations may result in slightly longer dry times.

While laboratory tests are useful tools in screening latex
for waterborne traffic paints, they are not substitute for rigorous

used in numerous traffic paints applied to AASHTO test decks 250

Application Equipment
High-performance traffic paints, such as those based on ENCOR® DT 250, require that all equipment exposed to the paint,
including tanks, lines, fittings and filters, be made of stainless steel or durable plastic to ensure trouble free operation. Equipment parts
made of steel, black iron, galvanized or brass of any kind must be replaced for ease of operation.
