Hycar^® 26315   Acrylic Emulsion

Hydrophobic Acrylic Latex

Hycar^® 26315 is a stiff, hydrophobic polymer with excellent strength and stiffness properties. This resin is also heat sealable and has broad FDA clearance. Typical applications are ovenable paper coatings, nonwoven & pigment binders, paper saturation & coatings, leather finishes, and adhesives. Due to high Tg value, Hycar 26315 is on the verge of being a non-film former at room temperature; particularly true of thicker films. If plasticizers (such as Carbiol Acetate) are not used for room temperature film formation, heat cure films between 210°F to 300°F. [Dry paper coatings @ 210°F - 220°F; Cure latex paper coating @ 275°F - 300°F] Hycar 26315 is compatible with most common latex compounding chemicals including; pigments, clay, titanium dioxide, thickeners like Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, hydroxy ethyl cellulose and polyacrylic acids and solvents like hexylene and propylene glycol.
