RHOPLEX® 800h was developed to allow for early hardness development in low VOC glossy paints particularly in deep tones. RHOPLEX® 800h unique morphology with ambient crosslinking enables improved hardness, tackiness, block resistance and feel properties.

EBECRYL® 3730-TP20 is the modified diacrylate ester of a bisphenol A based epoxy resin diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA). It is designed primarily for use in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable formulations. EBECRYL® 3730-TP20 is light in color with high UV/EB reactivity, and exhibits good wetting of pigments, matting agents and substrates compared to unmodified epoxy acrylates. Cured films based on EBECRYL® 3730-TP20 will typically demonstrate high gloss and hardness, and good chemical resistance.

CRAYVALLAC® PA3 WDA 20 is a pre-activated amide wax supplied in a mixture of mineral spirit (D60) and alcohols. Under paste form for post-addition to solvent-based low polarity coating systems, it provides a shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery to coating formulations. In coating systems, its crystalline fibres form an interacting network which gives rise to the shear-thinning rheology of the final coating. It provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application. Immediately following application, the coating’s viscosity undergoes a time dependent recovery as the network re-establishes itself. This time dependence is known as thixotropy and enables the final coating to attain very good levelling.

EBECRYL® 812 is an ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable polyester acrylate. Its low viscosity and outstanding color development properties make this product ideal for high pigment content, low viscosity flexo inks. Inks made using this vehicle have excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates common to flexo printing.

RHOBARR™ 110 is acrylic barrier coating emulsion for paper and paperboard applications

EBECRYL® LED 04 is an acrylated polyamine that can be added as a co- resin to UV curable formulations. EBECRYL® LED 04 – when combined with an appropriate photo initiator system – transforms formulations into UV LED, UVA, or low energy curable systems by providing improved surface cure. In addition, this effect is also seen in high energy cure formulations. The improved surface cure is obtained by mitigating oxygen inhibition of the free radical process and/or by being an amine synergist for Norrish type II photo initiators. Coating and inks based on EBECRYL® LED 04 exhibit a low odor after UV or EB curing. Due to its hydrophobic nature EBECRYL® LED 04 can also be used in offset inks applications as a replacement of aminobenzoate synergists.

TEGO® DISPers 740 W is a non-ionic wetting and dispersing additive for waterborne dispersions. Provides high color strength with organic pigments. Can be used as co-additive in base paints to improve the color acceptance.

TEGO® VariPlus 1201 TF strongly improves mechanical properties of solventborne inks and coatings. It enhances gloss, blocking resistance, and adhesion on many substrates.

VANCRYL® 950 emulsion is a very low Tg 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® 950 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® 950 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® 950 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 0.48.

EBECRYL® 605 is a bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate diluted approximately 27% by weight with the reactive diluent tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) to provide a lower viscosity, easier handling product. EBECRYL 605 exhibits light color and fast cure response. Films of EBECRYL 605 cured via ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss, surface hardness and superior chemical resistance.
