VANCRYL® 960

VANCRYL® 960 is a very low glass transition temperature acrylic polymer for film printing applications in the graphic arts industry. Inks made from this polymer exhibit excellent gloss, adhesion to polyolefins, ice water crinkle resistance, and fine printing characteristics. These properties are needed when converting packaging printing from solvent-based formulations to water-based formulations. VANCRYL® 960 is compatible with VANCRYL® 68 pigment dispersions as well as other commonly used dispersion resins. It also exhibits excellent compatibility with additives such as surfactants, adhesion promoters, and waxes. VANCRYL® 960 can be used as the backbone of printing inks and overprint coatings where various COF or slide angle requirements are needed, from a range of 0.25 to 0.45.
