Casamid™ 878 exhibits good anti-blocking characteristics and finds use in specialized flexographic inks and release lacquers. Although alcohol soluble, Casamid™ 878 is less resistant to gelation than other resins of this type. It is advised that higher alcohols and / or hydrocarbon solvents are used to counteract this problem, if required.
