NeoCryl BT-175 Acrylic copolymer DSM NeoResins North America South and Central America Acrylic Resins >> Styrene/ acrylic copolymer INKS >> Flexographic inks INKS >> Gravure NeoCryl BT-175 is a water borne alkali soluble acrylic copolymer that can be formulated into high performance flexographic and gravure inks which meet clear air regulations. When amine solubilized, NeoCryl BT-175 can be used as a pigment grinding vehicle for water borne coatings. NeoCryl BT-175 exhibits a low viscosity at high solids which is stable over a wide pH range eliminating the need for sensitive pH control during on-the-press operation. Figure 1 shows the pH/viscosity response of BT-175 versus a commercial competitor. It possesses alkali-solubility, stable viscosity over side pH, excellent pigment wetter, good water resistance, dilutable in alcohol. Water borne alkali soluble acrylic copolymer. Used for flexographic and gravure inks and coatings. Possesses very good pigment wetter and good water resistant.
