RHOPLEX® I-2183N

RHOPLEX® I-2183N is a modified aqueous acrylic polymer offering excellent heat resistance properties as an overprint varnish and a general ink letdown vehicle. It is a hard film former that offers excellent heat resistance without the use of zinc or zirconium additives. In fact zinc compounds should not be used as they will detract from performance. On press, RHOPLEX I-2183N has excellent transfer and printability with good resolubility for ease of clean up.
