VANCRYL® 68

VANCRYL® 68 is a solid acrylic resin that provides outstanding pigment wetting along with the viscosity stability needed for aqueous gravure and flexographic inks. The transfer properties and hold-out characteristics of inks prepared with VANCRYL 68 are excellent. In coatings, VANCRYL® 68 provides high gloss, scuff resistance, and hardness. VANCRYL 68 is compatible with most acrylic vehicles and other vehicles such as maleic resins. VANCRYL® 68 is effective as a protective colloid in the production of styrene-acrylic copolymer emulsions.
