VANCRYL® 989

VANCRYL® 989 is a high glass transition temperature acrylic emulsion for the graphic arts industry. Excellent gloss and fast drying rates can be obtained by utilizing VANCRYL® 989 in inks and coatings. It is suitable for both flexographic and gravure printing on paper substrates. VANCRYL® 989 has excellent compatibility with pigment dispersions and alcohols. Inks formulated with this product have good transfer, printability, and resolubility. Because it is a hard polymer, VANCRYL® 989 can also be formulated as a high gloss over print varnish with very good heat, water, oil, and scuff resistance.
