Ottopol

Ottopol SX-30 is a self-crosslinking acrylic emulsion for flexo or gravure printed films. This translucent emulsion polymer exhibits resistance to alkalis and solvents, such as diluted alcohol solutions. It has excellent adhesion to substrates and provides excellent resolubility properties when applied.

Ottopol K-633 is a low-molecular-weight cationic acrylic resin solution. It provides alkali resistance and adhesion to non-porous substrates with improved solubility. This product is suitable for use as a grinding vehicle for organic and inorganic pigments. Pigment concentrates can be let down with these resins to produce printing inks and coatings.

Ottopol 523 is a hard acrylic emulsion with hydroxyl functionality. This functionality allows crosslinks with melamine and isocyanates for excellent solvent resistance. Formulations using aziridine will require a plasticizer or coalescent solvent to aid in the film formation of the dried coating. The use of aziridine will result in a short pot life and will cross-link at room temperature. Formulations using melamine and PTSA (Para-Toluene Sulfonic Acid) are stable for a minimum of thirty days. The starting formulation requires a web temperature of 180°F to activate the cross-linking of the resins. An increase in PTSA will lower the temperature required to activate cross-linking, but larger amounts of PTSA will increase the hardness of the dry film. There are no plasticizers or coalescent aids required for film formation when using a melamine resin with this product.

Ottopol 25-50E converts into a low-cost solution polymer for pigment grinding and high-gloss flexo and gravure inks. Belonging to the Ottopol 25 Series, it is specifically designed for use as a grinding and letdown vehicle for water-based rotogravure and flexographic inks. It provides high gloss and excellent press stability. Ink and coating makers will benefit from the versatility of this series as a sole binder or component of high-gloss inks and overlay varnishes. These polymers are derived from the same monomer composition, and the dry resin is identical throughout the series.

Ottopol 510-28 is an anionic hydroxyl functional acrylic solution polymer that crosslinks with melamine and isocyanates. This product has excellent salt, fog, and solvent resistance.

Ottopol CS-58 is an anionic acrylic emulsion that is used as a binder for house paints and pigment dispersions.

Ottopol K-12T is a cationic acrylic emulsion that is used as a rust-converting primer. It converts the rust of the coating application to a black iron oxide barrier, which can be further top-coated with water- or solvent-based paints. This product does not contain tannic acid, oxime chelates, phosphates, or phosphoric acid.

Ottopol G-35 is an acrylic resin solution with an acid number of 200. It is suitable as a grinding vehicle and imparts excellent flow and levelling to inks and varnishes. This product provides superior printing qualities, good pigment wetting, and excellent gloss.

Ottopol K-23 is a cationic acrylic copolymer emulsion used for alkali resistance and adhesion to non-porous substrates. It is designed for use as a grinding and letdown vehicle for water-based flexographic and rotogravure inks. It is also suitable for use as an overprint varnish.

Ottopol K-362 is a solution polymer for alkali resistance and adhesion to non-porous substrates. This product is suitable for use as a grinding vehicle for organic and inorganic pigments. Additionally, pigment concentrates can be let down with these resins to produce printing inks and coatings.

Ottopol 25-30 is the ammonia-cut version of Ottopol 25-50E. This solution polymer has good adhesion to non-porous surfaces. Belonging to the Ottopol 25 Series, it is specifically designed for use as a grinding and letdown vehicle for water-based rotogravure and flexographic inks. It provides high gloss and excellent press stability. Ink and coating makers will benefit from the versatility of this series as a sole binder or component of high-gloss inks and overlay varnishes. These polymers are derived from the same monomer composition, and the dry resin is identical throughout the series.

Ottopol 502 is a non-ionic acrylic emulsion designed to increase the blocking of ordinary systems. This hard, non-film forming polymer improves the resistance properties of a standard ink or coating and has excellent compatibility with a wide range of resins.
