Acrylic Paint Resins vs Vinyl Paint Resins
All-acrylic emulsions like that found in our Rhino Shield coating remain the gold standard for
any exterior house coating, regardless of the surface being coated. Not only do the all-acrylic
emulsions offer all the alkali and efflorescence resistance required by many of the masonry
materials that are popular in new housing construction, but they continue to provide a better
overall balance of exterior performance properties than any competitive waterborne binder
chemistry.


Acrylic resins are better for interiors and exteriors vs vinyl resins in that they offer:

1) Better stain protection (washability)
2) Water resistance
3) Better adhesion
4) Better blocking (some people call this "strap down")
5) Resist cracking and blistering better
6) Resistance to alkali cleaners.
