Elvacite™ 2927 was designed for applications that require the low VOC content of a high solids formulation and the durability of a high molecular weight resin. Many times in order to achieve high solids and low VOC a low molecular weight resin must be used. This can cause issues with embrittlement. Elvacite™ 2927 utilizes proprietary technology to allow for lower viscosity at a given resin solids content. It is an ideal film former and binder for high solids ink and coating formulations. Elvacite™ 2927 is available as a solid bead resin that is readily soluble in ketones, aromatics, glycol ethers, and esters. It forms clear, durable, UV resistant films with an optimal balance of hardness and flexibility. It is often used in concrete coatings, marine paints, and solvent based inks.
