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 4111 is a high glass transition temperature styrene-butadiene emulsion designed to provide additional opacity in inks, specifically inks formulated with titanium dioxide. Rovene 4111 was designed with a specific particle size that greatly improves the spacing between titanium dioxide particles resulting in increased opacity. Additionally, using Rovene 4111 may allow a formulator to reduce the level of titanium dioxide in an ink formulation.

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 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 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 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 6005 is a very soft acrylic, high molecular weight latex emulsion specifically designed for formulation of pressure sensitive permanent label adhesives. Its high molecular weight allows the formulation of permanent label adhesives which are high in peel and tack, yet require a minimum amount of tackifier. Rovene 6005 was designed to give excellent performance and compatibility with a wide variety of dispersed tackifiers. Rovene 6005’s high molecular weight also provides improved wet crock of inks printed on nonwoven and textile substrates in the Printing and Packaging market.

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 5499 is a film forming styrene-butadiene emulsion that was developed as an ink vehicle for thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) based wall coverings. More specifically it can be formulated for metallic ink vehicles. Rovene 5499 provides inks with excellent adhesion to TPO wall covering substrates and good alkaline resistance properties.

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.

Tykote 1019 is a carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion that has a firm hand with excellent film strength properties. It is intended for use as a base polymer in the formulation of barrier coatings for paper and paperboard packaging. Tykote 1019 imparts excellent water resistance, and has good adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces. Tykote 1019 is recommended for use in paper and paperboard coatings where a high degree of water and water vapor resistance is needed. It may also be formulated into barrier laminating adhesives for paper-to-paper, paper-to-film, and foil-to-paper. Request the Tykote Products for Excellence in Barrier Coatings bulletin to learn more. Regulatory Status Detailed global food contact compliances are available upon request. Tykote 1019 is synthesized to meet European regulatory requirements.

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.

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.
