Texicryl® S-02

1 of 62 products in this brand
Texicryl® S-02 is a low-molecular-weight, alkali-soluble styrene acrylic resin developed for water-based coatings and inks. The resin is supplied in solid form and is designed to impart gloss and resolubility to water-based coatings within the graphic arts. It is readily let down at elevated temperatures in water in the presence of ammonia or other suitable amines.

Chemical Family: Styrene-Acrylic Copolymer

End Uses: Clearcoat, Waterborne Coating, Waterborne Ink

Features: Good Printability, High Gloss, Low Foaming

Applications
  • TEXICRYL S-02 is readily let down, at elevated temperature in water, in the presence of Ammonia or other suitable amine. Solutions of the resin must be kept at all times above pH 7, otherwise the resin will tend to revert back to it's solid form. The solid resin form / geometry is designed to give rapid solubility when made up into solutions. The solids content of resin solutions based on TEXICRYL S-02 should be made up at around 40 - 50% in order to give, maximum solids to give the highest achievable film build. Yet at this level of solids the resin solution will still flow easily and be pump-able.
  • In the resin solution form, TEXICRYL S-02 may be used as a let-down solution to clear coatings (OPV's) and inks. Resin solutions are designed to be compatible with all components commonly used in formulation graphic arts compounds, including the range of TEXICRYL emulsions designed for the graphic arts market, as well as surfactants, additives waxes alcohols and solvents.
  • TEXICRYL S-02 will impart gloss and resolubility to systems, yet maintaining low foaming and contributing to good printability.
