Conclusion

• PRIMAL™ AC-369S has better scrub that PRIMAL™™

– However, UCAR® R-361G has much better scrub resistance properties.

• PRIMAL™ AC-369S has the best overall tensile strength

properties at both PVC levels.

• Dirt Pick-Up Resistance for PRIMAL™ AC-369S is slightly better than

UCAR® R361G at 40PVC.

• The overall performance of PRIMAL™ AC-369S is comparable/better

to the other binders evaluated.
