CASAMID® 878

CASAMID® 878 by Thomas Swan is an alcohol-soluble polyamide resin. It provides superior anti-blocking properties, preventing layers from sticking together.

• It has a high melting point (140-150°C), offering exceptional thermal stability for demanding applications.
• It features a low odor formulation, ideal for sensitive packaging and coating uses.
• It ensures excellent film formation upon solvent extraction for high-quality, durable prints and coatings.
• It prevents premature gelation, though higher alcohols or hydrocarbon solvents may be needed for added stability.
• The amide groups interact with pigments and substrates, ensuring optimum dispersion, gloss, and rub resistance.
• It enhances durability in printing and coating applications.
• CASAMID® 878 delivers superior adhesion and print quality in specialized flexographic ink applications.
• It offers excellent release properties and durability in release lacquers.
• It is optimized for overprint varnishes, providing smooth coverage.
• It provides strength and barrier performance in coatings.
• It ensures long-lasting resistance to heat, abrasion, and environmental factors in high-performance packaging inks.
• It has a shelf life of 12 months.
