AQUA POLY 250 is a finely micronized polyethylene
which has been modified for easy dispersion into aqueous
systems such as printing inks, paints and coatings (varnishes).
AQUA POLY 250 has been processed to a NPIRI grind
gauge reading of 4.0-5.0 for direct incorporation into
aqueous systems using high speed mixing equipment. Prior
compounding or grinding is not necessary in most cases.
AQUA POLY 250 has been formulated to provide
optimum rub resistance, anti-blocking and slip properties
when incorporated into aqueous systems. The unique properties
of AQUA POLY 250 eliminate the problem of "flotation"
or "defoamer kickout" which is common when using most
types of conventional micronized waxes or polyethylenes
in aqueous systems.
Additions of 0.5-2.0% (by weight) will provide optimum
performance. The level of addition will depend on the
end use requirements. AQUA POLY 250 also exhibits
excellent gloss retention properties.
AQUA POLY 250 is recommended for use in the
following areas:
Flexographic (paper or film), packaging gravure (paper
or carton) and publication gravure printing inks; water
reducible wood finishes, coil coatings, industrial finishes
and latex paints; aqueous coatings for two piece cans
and offset printed folding cartons or paper (Dahlgren,
Epic, etc.); aqueous overprint varnishes.
