Efflorescence efflorescence: see hydrate.  resistance is attained due to the incorporation of the hydrophobic vinyl chloride monomer. This performance has been demonstrated through years of test fence exposure. The superior fusion characteristics of Airflex 728 emulsion allow for the use of lower amounts of coalescing coalescing (kōles´ing),

 agents while still maintaining good low-temperature performance. Airflex 728 emulsion also exhibits good mechanical stability with a high pigment binding adhesion. In selected applications, Airflex 728 emulsion can replace acrylic-based emulsions or be incorporated as a blending vehicle to lower the total formulation cost.
