Casamid™ 872 exhibits good gelation resistance, compatibility with nitrocellulose and low odor. Water resistance is inferior to Casamid™ 873, 874 and 876. However, the good antiblocking characteristics of Casamid™ 872 allow its use for inks and overprint lacquers where water resistance is not critical.
