Products

EBECRYL® 3708 is a modified bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate that exhibits relatively low viscosity and good cure response. Films of EBECRYL® 3708 cured by ultra- violet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate good flexibility, high gloss, toughness, and superior impact resistance.

KRONOS® 2160 is used for maximum durability in coatings.

RHOPLEX® WL-100 is an acrylic-styrene copolymer designed for high-gloss, high-DOI (Distinctness of Image) waterborne plastic coatings where an attractive appearance and excellent dry and wet adhesion are important considerations. The favorable colloidal stability (robustness) of RHOPLEX® WL-100 accommodates a broad range of formulation types and formulation process techniques, providing the formulator with a versatile binder for a variety of applications. Robustness, along with 50% weight solids, allows the formulator to achieve volume solids above conventional waterborne binders.

RHOPLEX® EC-2848 is designed to provide elastomeric coatings with an excellent balance of elongation, tensile strength and dirt pickup resistance over a wide temperature range. The elongation properties of the polymer allow coatings to bridge dimensionally unstable cracks without rupturing. It also provides an excellent balance of toughness and elasticity at both low and high temperatures without sacrificing dirt pickup resistance. Coatings based on RHOPLEX® EC-2848 retain an attractive appearance as they age.

LOTADER® 4513T is a random ethylene-methyl acrylate-maleic anhydride terpolymer. Versatile ready-to-use tie layer resin for extrusion lamination/coating, not intended to be diluted. Provides excellent adhesion in direct bonding onto printed, reverse-printed and plain films (OPET, OPP, CPP, OPA) while having a good processability in extrusion coating and lamination onto foil, metallized films, paper and board.

EBECRYL® 170 is an acidic acrylate adhesion promoter designed as an additive for ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings on metal.

ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 Alkali Soluble Anionic Thickener is an acid containing, acrylic emulsion copolymer. As such, when the emulsion is diluted with water and neutralized with a base, the polymer becomes soluble. Under these conditions, the emulsion clarifies and becomes highly viscous. ACRYSOL™ ASE-60 Thickener is effective at increasing low shear rate (Brookfield) viscosity, resulting in coatings that have highly shear thinning characteristics.

TAMOL® 1124 is a high performance hydrophilic copolymer which offers outstanding performance in a wide range of latex paint formulations from high gloss enamels to low sheen flats. Designed for excellent stability and compatibility with modern latex paint additives, TAMOL® 1124 dispersant is an excellent choice for the modern paint formulator.

LOTADER® AX8840 is a random ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer. Glycidyl methacrylate provides reactivity (versus OH, COOH and NH2 groups), leading to optimal dispersion during melt mixing with engineering thermoplastics. As an ethylene copolymer, LOTADER® AX8840 is compatible with LDPE in all proportions, and with almost all other ethylene copolymers. LOTADER® AX8840 exhibits good adhesion on PET, PBT, PPS, metal, paper, glass. Due to its reactivity induced by the glycidyl methacrylate, LOTADER® AX8840 can be used as a compatibiliser for polyesters/polyolefins blends and as an adhesive for some laminate structures (polyolefins/polyesters, polyolefins/PPS etc.).

RHOPLEX® 2601 is a versatile binder designed for interior and exterior coatings and can be formulated across a broad PVC range. For exterior durability, higher coalescent levels may be needed to ensure good film formation in higher PVC paints. While RHOPLEX® 2601 is a harder latex binder, it should be noted that it is possible to develop low VOC paints with the use of low VOC coalescents (i.e. DOWANOL™ LoV 485 Glycol Ether, Optifilm 400, etc.).

RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion has been designed for use in factory-applied clear topcoats for wood requiring the highest levels of appearance and surface hardness characteristics. Lacquers based on RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion are translucent in the can and upon application turn clear very rapidly while drying. RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion was developed for use in topcoat finishes and as such does not provide optimum appearance qualities if used as a sealer. In multi-coat systems, the finest overall appearance is obtained when RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion is used over specialized sealer formulations. It is recommended that RHOPLEX® CL-106 acrylic emulsion be used over sealers formulated from RHOPLEX® CL-105 emulsion. In this manner, RHOPLEX® CL-105 emulsion contributes excellent wood fiber wetting, appearance characteristics, and early sandability to the system while RHOPLEX® CL-106 emulsion provides a topcoat with hardness, mar resistance, and clarity. The volatile organic content (VOC) of typically formulated clear topcoat lacquers is less than 2.3 lb/gal and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are 0.3 lb HAPs/lb solids.

TAMOL® 960 is a versatile, low-cost, non-foaming, water-soluble polyacid dispersant which offers excellent performance in a wide range of latex paint formulations. It is recommended for low sheen flat through semi-gloss acrylic, stirene-acrylic and vinyl acrylic formulations and is effective over a pH range of 7 to 11 with a wide temperature range. TAMOL® 960 offers good compatibility with ZnO pigment.

BAYSCRIPT® Magenta BB liq. is a single-ingredient reactive dye, identified as Reactive Red 141. It belongs to the azo compounds chemical family and is used in ink and toner applications, including inkjet ink, thermal ink, and waterborne ink. This dye is compatible with paper substrates and features alkali stability, cost-effectiveness, good acid stability, high color purity, and high performance. The primary function of this product is as a dye.

VANCRYL® 927 is a medium glass transition temperature acrylic emulsion for the graphic arts industry. Excellent gloss can be obtained by utilizing VANCRYL® 927 in inks and coatings. Its film formation properties, coupled with its rapid water release, result in very fast drying. It is suitable for both flexographic and gravure printing on paper substrates. VANCRYL® 927 has excellent compatibility with pigment dispersions and alcohols. Inks formulated with VANCRYL® 927 have good transfer, printability, and resolubility for high-quality printing on various paper substrates (including metalized paper) and aluminum foil. VANCRYL® 927 can also be formulated as a high gloss OPV that will very quickly develop water, oil, and scuff resistance.

KRONOS® 1000 is a pigment known for excellent whiteness, brightness, opacity, and tint strength. It is easy to disperse and used in coatings (enamels), ceramics, paper & pulp, white concrete, printing inks, and fibers. Compatible with glass and applied in metal manufacturing.
