- Properties & Usage
POLYTONE K-94 is available in pearl shaped granules. This resin is highly effective in imparting gloss, adhesiveness in the inks and also in increasing the solid content in flexo & gravure inks. Use of this resin in ball point pen inks ensure that pastes and inks in writing instruments do not dry quickly yet set quickly after writing. POLYTONE K-94 is used in the manufacture of all types of nitrolacquers and is most suitable for paper lacquers. This resin is useful in the manufacture of PVC lacquers and for polishing lacquers and finishes for the surface treatment of wooden furniture and articles.
