Overview
Elvacite™ TB-143 is a solid-bead acrylic resin used as a binder to create films with outstanding adhesion to cold rolled steel, zinc–phosphate steel, copper, and tin substrates. Like other Elvacite™ acrylic resins, Elvacite™ TB-143 forms films with a high degree of hardness and toughness while maintaining good flexibility for applying to flexible substrates. It has a modest acid number of 9 mg KOH per gram of resin, giving it increased pigment dispersing capabilities. Elvacite™ TB-143 forms films that are highly resistant to weathering, yellowing due to UV exposure, moisture, and attack from dilute acids and bases. It is mainly used in coating and ink applications that are applied to metal substrates, which typically have low surface energies.
