CASAMID® 879

CASAMID® 879 by Thomas Swan is a general purpose, alcohol soluble thermoplastic polyamide resin. It enhances ink and coating performance by forming a strong, durable film upon solvent evaporation. It is optimized for high-speed printing with fast drying times, enabling higher press speeds and increased productivity.

• It provides uniform ink coverage, reducing defects and improving print consistency.
• It delivers excellent press performance through good flow, minimizing downtime and maintenance.
• It offers outstanding gelation resistance, preventing premature thickening during storage and use.
• It ensures exceptional water resistance for durability in humid or moisture-prone environments.
• CASAMID® 879 is recommended for lacquer formulations featuring strong anti-blocking properties.
• It prevents ink layers from sticking together.
• It offers smooth coverage, and superior adhesion for flexographic packaging applications.
• It is used in laminating inks for multi-layer packaging applications due to its high bond strength.
• It is used in overprint varnish enhancing gloss, abrasion resistance, and overall print quality.
• It has a shelf-life of 12 months.
