As binder components in various adhesive applications, Elvacite® acrylic resins contribute green strength, outstanding resistance to discoloration by ultraviolet light and heat as well as resistance to grease, oil, and water.
Compatibility with other commonly used binders such as nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate, chlorinated rubber, vinyl resins, and many rosin derivatives provides broad latitude in formulation to meet specific performance requirements.
Grades
Conventional
Elvacite® 2009 – A more soluble, softer version of Elvacite® 2010. Excellent chip resistance for a hard polymer.
Elvacite® 2014 – Soft and flexible Elvacite® copolymer resin. Good pigment wetting. Useful for clear, translucent or pigmented metal lacquers, e.g. for aircraft. Also useful for seamless flooring.
Elvacite® 2044 – Softest, most flexible bead grade. Useful in adhesives for smooth plastic films and aluminum, and in silkscreen inks. Will plasticize and improve adhesion of harder butyl grades (Elvacite® 2045 and 2046) and nitrocellulose.
Elvacite® 2045 – Hardest of the weak-solvent-soluble butyl grades. Useful in topcoats for vacuum metallized plastics and in lacquers for other solvent-sensitive substrates. Softer than Elvacite® 2042 and 2043. Clean burn-out for ceramic inks.
Elvacite® 2046 – Medium-hardness butyl grade. Soluble in mineral spirits, VM & P naphtha, and some alcohols. Useful in aluminum finishes, ceramic coatings, and aerosol snows.
Elvacite® 2971 – Higher molecular weight version of Elvacite® 2016.
Elvacite® 2013 – Fast-dissolving, low-viscosity grade with quick solvent release for use in industrial lacquers, aerosols, inks, and coatings for plastics. Softer than the methyl methacrylate polymers.
Elvacite® 2016 – Fast-dissolving, low-viscosity general-purpose resin copolymer for lacquer and toner use..
Cyanoacrylate
Elvacite® 2051 – Nonreactive. Excellent abrasion resistance, block resistance and slip.
Colacryl® LS600/1 – Methyl methacrylate based acrylic resin with excellent resistance to water whitening in reactive systems.
Colacryl® TS2082 – Solid bead resin with low residual peroxide content, specially designed for use in a variety of industrial and dental applications.
Heat Seal
Elvacite® 3004 – Plastic and vinyl coatings and inks.
Elvacite® 4044 – General purpose grade with FDA compliance for heat seal lacquers.
Reactive
Elvacite® 1010 – Macromonomer with broad compatibility in UV monomers.
Elvacite® 2008C – Nonreactive version of 2008 for use in reactive systems. Improves rheology.
Elvacite® 2021C – Nonreactive version of 2021 for use in reactive systems. Improves toughness and rheology.
Elvacite® 2028 – Unique in its broad solubility and compatibility. Designed for flexographic inks, general purpose lacquers and metal coatings.
Elvacite® 2051 – Nonreactive. Excellent abrasion resistance, block resistance and slip.
Elvacite® 2552C – Unique resin designed for general metal finishes where high depth of gloss is important. Resists cracking and glazing in multiple-coat systems. Also useful for high-gloss coatings on plastic substrates. Excellent resistance to UV degradation and has excellent exterior durability.
Elvacite® 2697 – Nonreactive version of 2016 for use in reactive systems.
Elvacite® 2971C – Nonreactive version of Elvacite® 2971.
Lucite® 30B – Excellent for 2 part adhesive systems.
