Emulsion polymer based on styrene and acrylates

Fields of Application: Printing Inks, Overprint Varnishes and Coatings
Let-down vehicle for water-based flexographic and gravure-printing inks
Binder for water-based overprint varnishes
 
Characteristics:
Excellent gloss
High heat resistance
Free of glycols or glycol ethers
 
Remarks:
Apart from the mentioned properties Induprint SE 900 provides an excellent transfer, very good hold-out, fast drying and low foaming properties. The product is free of solvents and coalescing agents.
 
Induprint SE 900 is a very hard polymer. It is therefore necessary to modify the polymer by addition of coalescing agents (i. e. Dowanol DPM) or softer polymers to enable film formation and gloss improvement at normal operating temperatures.
 
Gloss improvement or a softer varnish may be obtained by the combination of Induprint SE 900 with Induprint SE 245 or Induprint SE 1985.
 
Further improvement of the heat-seal resistance is possible by adding Indunal Z 15 (ZnO solution).
