DeCAL 9160 mainly reacts with the free carboxylic groups of the binder system. During the drying process covalent bonds are formed. Besides the main reaction with carboxylic groups, DeCAL 9160 reacts with hydroxylic groups. The bonding between DeCAL 9160 and hydroxylic groups is less strong as the covalent bond formed with the carboxylic reaction.
Paper and board coatings:In paper coating applications, DeCAL 9160 insolubilizes the coating and increases the water resistance. Normal addition levels are about 5% DeCAL 9160 as it is, based on the dry binder content. In practice, this means about 0.15 to 0.60 parts DeCAL 9160 based on the coating formulation.
Ink
In water-based inks, DeCAL 9160 is used to improve the scrub resistance and adhesion of the inks.
Glass fiber wallcoverings:
In glass fiber wallcovering applications, DeCAL 9160 can improve the water resistance and tear strength of the wall coverings. Normal addition levels are between 0.5% and 1.0% on the dry binder
