RHOPLEX® P-308

RHOPLEX® P-308 is an excellent choice when formulating paper coatings for high quality printing and packaging that require excellent gluing properties. Paper and paperboard coatings formulated with RHOPLEX P-308 can reduce print mottle in the Lithographic printing process. It was designed to have excellent compatibility with calcium ions for today’s high calcium carbonate pigment systems and the styrene-acrylic chemistry makes this a hydrophobic binder.
