Rovene 6104 is a very soft, film forming vehicle that provides good water and rub resistance for flexographic and gravure inks and overprint varnishes. Rovene 6104 can be used as the film forming component in overprint varnish formulations or as the sole vehicle for inks and overprint varnishes providing good gloss. The emulsion can also be used as the non-skid component in formulations. Because of the low glass transition temperature, Rovene 6104 has good adhesion to treated flexible films. Inks and overprint varnishes formulated with Rovene 6104 can be formulated with graphic arts industry standard products and additives.

Rovene 6202 is a solution version of Rovene 6201 solid styrene-acrylic resin neutralized with ammonia hydroxide. Rovene 6202 is a general use resin solution that is used as a grinding resin to produce pigment dispersions. The solution can also be used as an additive to modify certain properties of an ink or overprint varnish. The addition of Rovene 6202 will increase gloss, increase block resistance and improve resolubility on press. The solution can also be crosslinked due to the carboxyl functionality of the styrene-acrylic resin.

Rovene 6204 is a 34% solids solution version of Rovene 6201 styrene-acrylic resin neutralized with ammonia hydroxide. It can be used as a pigment dispersant resin and as a modifying additive in inks or overprint varnishes. Rovene 6204 is a general use resin solution that is used as a grinding resin to produce pigment dispersions. The solution can also be used as an additive to modify certain properties of an ink or overprint varnish. The addition of Rovene 6204 will increase gloss, increase block resistance and improve resolubility on press. The solution can also be crosslinked due to the carboxyl funcationality of the styrene-acrylic resin.

Rovene 6106 is a low viscosity but high solids letdown emulsion for paper and paper board substrates. The combination of the polymer design and high solids give inks formulated with Rovene 6106 very fast drying and excellent printability. The high solids, low viscosity, and fast drying characteristics are well suited for high speed gravure printing as well as flexographic printing.

Rovene® 6114 is a low glass transition temperature, acrylic polymer emulsion with improved oil & grease resistance. It is a very soft film forming vehicle that provides good gloss, excellent water and rub resistance, and non-skid properties for flexographic and gravure inks and overprint varnishes. Rovene 6114 can be used as the film forming component in overprint varnishes or as the sole vehicle for inks and overprint varnishes. Because of the low glass transition temperature, Rovene 6114 has good adhesion to treated flexible films. Inks and overprint varnishes can be formulated with graphic arts standard products and additives.

Rovene 6115 is a hard, non-film forming vehicle that is neutralized with sodium hydroxide for flexographic and gravure inks and overprint varnishes primarily for use on paper and paperboard substrates. Inks formulated with this emulsion exhibit excellent ink transfer as well as exceptional resolubility on press with low odor. Inks and overprint varnishes formulated with Rovene 6115 dry fast, clean up easily on press, and can be easily formulated with graphic arts industry standard products and additives.

Rovene 6103 is a soft, film forming vehicle that provides good water and rub resistance for flexographic and gravure inks and overprint varnishes. Rovene 6103 can be used as the film forming component in overprint varnish formulations or as the sole vehicle for inks and overprint varnishes providing excellent gloss. The emulsion can also be used as the nonskid component in formulations. Because of the low glass transition temperature, Rovene 6103 has good adhesion to treated flexible films. Inks and overprint varnishes formulated with Rovene 6103 can be formulated with graphic arts industry standard products and additives.

Rovene 4076 is a medium-firm, carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion recommended for use in architectural coatings and interior primers for dry wall application where low perm ratings are required. Rovene 4076 is designed to exhibit tight, continuous films providing the following performance advantages: moisture vapor barrier properties, superior cold temperature coalescence, and ASTM E-96 perm ratings of ~0.5.

Rovene 6201 is an alkali soluble styrene-acrylic resin with a mid-range molecular weight supplied in a clear pellet form. Rovene 6201 is a general use resin for overprint varnishes, water based inks and pigment dispersions. Rovene 6201 provides excellent ink transfer and printability with high gloss.

Rovene 4002 is a medium-firm, carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion designed to have good freeze-thaw stability and low odor characteristics, when used in trade sales coatings. When properly formulated, coatings based on Rovene 4002 exhibit tight, continuous films providing the following performance advantages: moisture vapor barrier properties, enamel holdout at higher PVC's than conventional latexes, superior cold temperature coalescence, stability to alkaline substrates and ASTM E-96 perm ratings of ~0.5.

Rovene 6111 is a low glycol and VOC styrene-acrylic resin supported emulsion. It is a general purpose, hard, non-film forming emulsion for flexographic and gravure inks and overprint varnishes. Rovene 6111 can be used as a letdown vehicle for paper and paperboard substrates that exhibit excellent hold out and high gloss. Inks formulated witht this emulsion exhibit excellent ink transfer and resolubility on press. Inks and overprint varnishes formulated with Rovene 6111 dry fast, clean up easily on press, and can be easily formulated with graphic arts industry standard products and additives.

Rovene 6112 is a hard, film forming, low glycol and VOC vehicle with a moderately low glass transition temperature for flexographic and gravure inks and overprint varnishes. Rovene 6112 exhibits good water and grease resistance. This polymer allows formulating for film integrity and flexibility without adversely affecting the blocking resistance of the inks and overprint varnishes. Inks and overprint varnishes formulated with Rovene 6112 can be easily formulated with graphic arts industry standard products and additives.

Rovene 4009 is a carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion that has a medium hand with above average strength properties. This latex has the ability to be crosslinked with external crosslinking agents. Rovene 4009 can be compounded into highly water and grease resistant paper and board coatings. It exhibits an excellent balance of water resistance, grease and oil resistance, and low moisture vapor transmission. Rovene 4009 is recommended for applications in specialty paper coatings where water, grease and oil resistance is needed.
