ALCOTEX 864

• Aqueous solution.
• Forms very flexible films when dry.
• Dry films can be easily dissolved.
• Very receptive to inkjet printing inks.
• The dry film can be insolubilized by crosslinking.
• Non-ionic copolymer.

• ALCOTEX 864 may be poured or pumped using a wide variety of normal processing equipment. Care should be taken not to entrain air into the product during handling or mixing, and if required, a suitable antifoam may be used.
• When ALCOTEX 864 is used as the major component of a high-quality ink receptive coating, there are many different formulations that can be used. More detailed information on ALCOTEX 864 in this application is available in the booklets use of ALCOTEX in ink receptive coatings and ALCOTEX 864 a novel polymer for ink jet.
• Water-soluble films, detergent bags, and temporary adhesives. Inkjet receivable coatings on paper and film.

ALCOTEX 864 is supplied in 220-litre plastic drums, 1000-litre caged IBCs, or bulk delivery.

• ALCOTEX 864 is stable under normal storage conditions, but extremes of temperature should be avoided. At low temperatures, ALCOTEX 864's viscosity increases significantly, and a hazy solution is observed. This can be cleared by warming the solution to 20°C.
• ALCOTEX 864 should be stored in sealed containers as received. In this condition, ALCOTEX 864 should remain fit for use for 6 months from the date of delivery. Beyond that date, the material may still be fit for use, but it is advised to test the material.
• With normal standards of plant housekeeping, there is no need to add bactericides. If required, compatible bactericides may be used, and any infected equipment treated with dilute hypochlorite solution.
