PARALOID™ B-1225DMC functions as a binder, resin, and dispersant in case ingredient applications.

PARALOID™ A-21 30% Resin is a very hard methyl methacrylate type polymer with enhanced adhesion properties. It is provided as a 30% solution in a toluene/butanol system. The polymer is also available in a solid grade form. Lacquers formulated with PARALOID™ A-21 30% Resin possess excellent intercoat adhesion, hardness, and outdoor durability. PARALOID™ A-21 30% Resin will air-dry rapidly to give clear, colorless films that have excellent resistance to yellowing.

PARALOID™ WR-97 can be crosslinked with urea and melamine resins to produce general purpose industrial coatings. These coatings systems are sprayable and can be produced in pebble or roller mills or in high speed dissolvers. Being water-reducible, they can be formulated to meet clean air regulations restricting the type and amounts of solvent emissions.

PARALOID™ XR-34 Resin is an effective pigment dispersant. They may also be blended with alkyds or nitrocellulose to improve the drying speed, gasoline resistance, and durability characteristics of the coating. They also provide significant upgrades to the gloss and hardness of other acrylic resins and other film formers when used as the grinding medium. PARALOID XR-34 is a slightly harder resin than PARALOID B-99. PARALOID B-99 resin is supplied at 50% solids in a toluene/xylene mixture. It is also available as a solid grade PARALOID B-99N. PARALOID XR-34 resin is supplied at 50% solids in xylene.

PARALOID™ B-72 100% Resin has low reactivity with sensitive phosphorescent and luminescent pigments to produce stable, durable, non-yellowing coatings. It is compatible with vinyls, cellulosics, chlorinated rubbers, and silicones. It is well suited for white and metallic aerosols, clear coatings for wood, nitrocellulose modified coatings for general product finishing, pigment dispersion (fluorescent), flexographic printing inks, and gravure plastic coatings.

PARALOID™ B-99N 100% Resin is unique in its compatibility with short and medium oil alkyds. Blended with alkyds, it improves the drying speed, gasoline resistance, and durability characteristics of the alkyds. It also demonstrates excellent pigment dispersing properties and significantly upgrades the gloss of other acrylic resins and film formers when used as the grinding medium.

PARALOID™ B-67 100% Resin is particularly compatible with medium and long-oil alkyds, drying oils, and oleoresinous varnishes. When used to modify these materials, coatings with improved hardness, faster drying speed, and better retention of color and gloss result. Hold out and brushing characteristics are also improved.

PARALOID™ B-48S 45% Resin has excellent adhesion to bare and primed metals and possesses outstanding toughness, flexibility, and exterior durability. PARALOID™ B-48S 45% Resin Thermoplastic Solution Resin (45%) has excellent block resistance and fast solvent release, and it is well suited for both air-dried and force-dried finishes. It is supplied at 45% solids in toluene and is also available in a solid grade (PARALOID™ B- 48N Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin).

PARALOID™ B-82 51% Resin is a softer, general purpose acrylic resin. Films based on PARALOID™ B-82 51% Resin Thermoplastic Solution Resin (51%) exhibit the water-white color, durability, flexibility and chemical resistance characteristic of acrylic polymers. PARALOID™ B-82 51% Resin Thermoplastic Solution Resin (51%) is well suited for general product finishing where a softer resin is required. It can be used over metal, plastics, wood and masonry.

PARALOID™ AU-608B are acrylic polyols specifically designed to produce hard, resistant, durable coatings when reacted with aliphatic isocyanates. The exceptional properties of these coatings have led to increased use in such heavy duty maintenance applications as chemical plant storage tanks and offshore rigs and platforms.

PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin is a very hard methyl methacrylate polymer with enhanced adhesion properties. It is supplied as a 30% solution in a toluene/MEK/butanol solvent system. The polymer is also available in solid grade form. PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin is similar to PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin in characteristics and uses but because of its solvent system, PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin possesses better compatibility with cellulosics, such as nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate butyrate. PARALOID™ A-21LV 30% Resin also will allow a higher solids content at spray viscosity.

PARALOID™ B-44 100% Resin provides an outstanding combination of hardness, flexibility, and adhesion to various substrates. It also permits wider latitude in formulating in solvents that are suitable for specific applications. The resin is slightly softer and more flexible than PARALOID A-21 Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin and has excellent adhesion to various substrates.

PARALOID™ B-66T 51% Resin is an excellent general-purpose resin with very fast solvent release. PARALOID B-66 is compatible with nitrocellulose, alkyds, and other types of resins, providing an air-drying system with excellent durability, toughness, adhesion, and resistance properties.

PARALOID™ A-101 is a very hard methyl methacrylate polymer resin is recommended for clear coatings on vinyl, metal, and wood; gravure printing inks; plastisol primers; and barrier coatings for plastic. PARALOID A-101 has excellent adhesion to plastic; is fast drying; has excellent durability; and is highly resistant to water, grease, salt spray, and gasoline.
