Berset® 2196

Glyoxal based reactant. Acts as an extremely effective crosslinking agent. Crosslinks all normally used synthetic and natural binders in pigmented or non-pigmented systems. Offers good wet rub resistance off the machine and good wet pick up resistance. Provides coatings exhibiting stable viscosity. Shows very less reactivity during coating preparation but greatly accelerated reactivity during the drying process. Also shows a high pH value and requires less alkali to buffer the pH of the coatings. Used in most types of paper coatings systems.
