Elvacite® 2028 is a thermoplastic methacrylate resin with a low molecular weight. It is a solid bead resin that is soluble in alcohols, ketones, toluene, and glycol ethers. Because of its low molecular weight, flexibility, and broad solubility Elvacite® 2028 is an ideal binder for flexographic inks. It is highly compatible with most pigment and additives used in printing inks. When used as a film former, Elvacite® 2028 produces durable films that are resistant to heat, UV degradation, and weather. These films are often used in pigmented lacquers and metal coatings. Elvacite® 2028 is an excellent binding resin for coil coatings that require a combination of durability, gloss, and cost effectiveness. Coil coatings formulated with Elvacite® 2028 offer excellent protection from moisture, corrosion, and abrasion resistance in addition to best in class clarity and gloss.
