Trapylen® 187 EAC

1 of 74 products in this brand
Trapylen® 187 EAC is a chlorinated polypropylene dissolved in ethyl acetate. It possesses a slightly lower chlorine content compared to the similar Trapylen® 186 EAC but maintains good compatibility with other resins and polymers, along with excellent pigment wetting. The cured film exhibits high gloss and very good chemical and aging resistance. The primary advantage of Trapylen® 187 EAC lies in its outstanding adhesion to untreated polypropylene, PP/EPDM thermoplastic rubber, and, with limitations, polyethylene. However, its resistance against fatty oil and grease is limited and may be compensated for by using it with low-chlorinated Trapylen® grades.

Functions: Adhesion Promoter, Binder & Resin, Coupling Agent

Compatible Substrates & Surfaces: Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP)

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Natural Rubbers (NR), Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)

Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • TRAPYLEN®187 EAC has a bit lower chlorine content compared to the similar TRAPYLEN®186 EAC but, as well, good compatibility with other resins and polymers and excellent pigment wetting.
  • The cured film has a high gloss and very good chemical and aging resistance.
  • The main merit of TRAPYLEN® 187 EAC is the outstanding adhesion on untreated polypropylene, PP/EPDM thermoplastic rubber and with limitations - on polyethylene.
  • The resistance against fatty oil and grease is limited and must be compensated by using it with low chlorinated TRAPYLEN®grades.
  • It is only recommended as a binder resin for screen printing inks and as an adhesion promoter in plastic paints and solvent based contact adhesives on NR/SBR/polychloroprene basis.
