VANCRYL® 68 S

VANCRYL® 68 S is an aqueous solution of VANCRYL® 68 acrylic resin, with ammonia used to affect the solution. VANCRYL® 68 S 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 this resin solution are excellent. In coatings, VANCRYL® 68 S provides high gloss, scuff resistance, and hardness. VANCRYL® 68 S is compatible with most acrylic vehicles and other vehicles such as maleic resins. VANCRYL® 68 S is effective as a protective colloid in the production of styrene-acrylic copolymer emulsions.
