Polytex E-100

Polytex E-100 is a sulfonamide-based resin modifier for use in lacquers, inks, adhesives and UV curable coatings. Polytex E-100 enhances gloss, DOI (Distinctness of Image), adhesion to numerous substrates, compatibility and overall coating durability.

Polytex E-100 has excellent compatibility with most commercial polymeric binders, pigments and plasticizers. Solutions of Polytex E-100 have a low viscosity, and offer the advantage of formulating highsolids lacquers. Polytex E-100 is soluble in ketones, esters, and a variety of acrylic monomers and diluents for UV applications. Its excellent solubility in glycol ethers makes the product useful in waterbased formulations. Polytex E-100 is insoluble in aliphatics, affording resistance to oil, grease and gasoline.

The recommended level of usage in inks, lacquers and coatings is 5-15% of the total formulation. In adhesives formulations, it can be used at levels of up to 30%. In adhesives, Polytex E-100 improves bonding between substrates such as cellophane and aluminum foils, to themselves, and to paper. Bond strengths are maintained at temperatures of up to 60C (140F), dependent upon the specific formulation.

Polytex E-75 is the solution version in butyl acetate of Polytex E-100.
