EPS launches all-acrylic, film-forming polymer for exterior architectural coatings
Last update on Sep 23, 2025
Engineered Polymer Solutions (EPS) launches EPS® 2736, a new all-acrylic, film-forming polymer designed to improve the performance of exterior architectural coatings across flat to satin finishes.
Free of fluorosurfactants
Formulated for DIY and professional applications, EPS® 2736 delivers exterior durability with exceptional dirt pickup resistance, long-term color retention, and UV resistance.
“EPS® 2736 is the newest addition to our portfolio of polymers made without fluorosurfactants,” said Karl Booth, R&D manager at EPS. “We offer a wide-ranging line of polymers for architectural coatings across all sheens, from flat to high gloss, each designed to meet specific performance needs. Our portfolio is designed to provide formulators with the ability to achieve near-zero VOC coatings when using EPS® 9147, our low VOC coalescent.”
