Hydrocarbon Resins for Coatings and Inks

EBECRYL® 303 by allnex is a clear liquid polymeric resin in 1,6 hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA). It has been developed to improve the adhesion and good exterior durability of inks and varnishes onto plastics. EBECRYL® 303 is recommended for applications like screen printing, flexographic inks, letterpress and plastics (PC, polyester, polyolefins, PS and PVC). The shelf life of the grade is 2 years.

TEGO® VariPlus CA distributed by DKSH is a hydrocarbon resin. It shows excellent viscosity reduction and helps accelerate the drying speed. It provides very good adhesion on metal combined with high gloss and good weather resistance.

• It is used in printing inks, ballpoint pen inks, general industrial coatings, and wood coatings.
• It is suitable for solvent-borne, radiation-curing systems, pigmented and clear coatings.
• Recommended dosage level is 5-20% calculated on the total formulation weight.
• It has a shelf life of 36 months.
• It is available in APAC region (Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines).

Endex™ 155 by Synthomer high softening point, low molecular weight resin produced by copolymerization of pure aromatic monomers. Used as a modifier resin in high performance coating compositions. Offers very good color and color stability, no odor, very good resistance to thermal and oxidative degradation, good UV stability, narrow molecular weight distribution, and high glass transition temperature (98°C). Endex™ 155 by Synthomer gives compatibility with polystyrene, rosin and modified rosins, rosin esters, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and styrene based block copolymers.

High softening point, low molecular weight thermoplastic resin produced by copolymerization of pure aromatic monomers. Endex™ 160 by Synthomer used as a modifier resin in high performance coating compositions. Offers very good color and color stability, no odor, very good resistance to thermal and oxidative degradation, good UV stability, narrow molecular weight distribution, and high glass transition temperature (>100°C).
