Performance Materials (Functional Materials)

Environmentally sound, and weatherability acrylic vehicle
THERMOLAC?

THERMOLAC? acrylic polymer is used as a binder for ink and paint. Various product types are available to fit the needs as weatherability, contamination resistance, chemical resistance and quick drying. Environmentally sound solvent compositions are also available.

THERMOLAC? is available in two types: thermoplastic and polyol

Applications of THERMOLAC?

THERMOLAC? is a vehicle for gravure printing that requires heat resistance, transparency and weatherability. Applications include shrink film for wrapping beverage and food packages, overcoating materials for fancy plywood, and two-part acrylic-modified resin used as plastic and clear paint binder.
