VANCRYL® 965

VANCRYL® 965 emulsion is a very low glass transition temperature acrylic polymer designed 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. VANCRYL® 965 also has the unusual combined properties of excellent resolubility and fast drying. These properties are needed when converting flexible packaging printing from solvent-based to water-based formulations. VANCRYL® 965 emulsion is compatible with VANCRYL® 68 pigment dispersions as well as other commonly used pigment dispersions. It also exhibits excellent compatibility with additives such as surfactants, adhesion promoters, alcohols, and waxes. VANCRYL® 965 can be used as the backbone of printing inks and overprint coatings where various COF or slide resistance requirements are needed, from a range of 0.25 to 0.45.
