Kamicryl 2089 is a styrene acrylic copolymer emulsion for inks and overprints on paper and paperboard. KAMICRYL-2089 is a non film forming Rheology Controlled (RC) letdown emulsion that provides excellent gloss and hold out in formulations for paper and paperboard. KAMICRYL-2089 can be used to formulate high performance inks and overprints. By varying the concentration of KAMICRYL-2089, the formulator is able to adapt the drying speed of the formula to meet press requirements while producing sharp line work and precise process dots.
