As binder components in flexographic, gravure, and screen inks and as clear overprint coatings, our acrylic resins contribute excellent adhesion to most packaging films and foil and outstanding resistance to discoloration by ultraviolet light and heat as well as resistance to grease, oil, and water.
Compatibility with other commonly used binders such as nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate, chlorinated rubber, vinyl resins, and many rosin derivatives provides broad latitude in formulation to meet specific performance requirements.

Elvacite® Acrylic Resins for Inks
Binders
pijl
Elvacite® 2014 – Soft and flexible copolymer resin with good pigment wetting. Elvacite® 2045 – Hardest of the weak-solvent-soluble butyl grades. Useful in topcoats for vacuum metallized plastics and in lacquers for other solvent-sensitive substrates. Softer than Elvacite® 2042 and Elvacite® 2043. Clean burn-out for ceramic inks.
Flexographic
pijl
Elvacite® 2028 – Unique in its broad solubility and compatibility. Designed for flexographic inks, general purpose lacquers and metal coatings. Elvacite® 2043 – Fast-dissolving, low-viscosity resin with alcohol solubility for flexographic inks. Most compatible grade. Exhibits excellent pigment wetting ability and broad solubility for use in lacquers for solvent-sensitive substrates.
Gravure
pijl
Elvacite® 2008C – Low molecular weight grade. Used in lacquers and gravure inks requiring low viscosity at high solids. Highest tack temperature. Good pigment dispersion. Elvacite® 2013 – Fast-dissolving, low-viscosity grade with quick solvent release for use in industrial lacquers, aerosols, inks, and coatings for plastics. Softer than the methyl methacrylate polymers.
