With the introduction of EPS® 2785, Engineered Polymer Solutions expands its portfolio of polymers for artist paint manufacturers, offering a new advanced all-acrylic film-forming polymer that provides outstanding resistance to yellowing and UV degradation, helping preserve the vibrancy of artworks for years to come.

EPS 2785 is made without fluorosurfactants or APEO surfactants and can be formulated into low‑VOC paints. Designed to meet ASTM D4236 requirements for art material labeling in the U.S., EPS 2785 also enables products to achieve approval from The Art & Creative Materials Institute (ACMI), an organization focused on promoting safety in art and creative products.

“We developed EPS 2785 to give paint manufacturers a polymer that delivers uncompromising performance,” says Dr. Robert Sandoval, R&D technical director for EPS. “This product opens new possibilities for creating artist paints that resist fading, dulling, and yellowing over time.”

“This launch underscores our commitment to anticipating market needs and delivering solutions that help our customers innovate,” adds Makarand Gawade, global marketing director. “EPS 2785 strengthens our portfolio and enables manufacturers to develop products that deliver exceptional performance and reliability.”
