- AQ™ 55S Polymer
Dispersions of AQ™ 55S form clear films with excellent durability and provide water-based makeup with improved smudge and humidity resistance. In hair-styling products, AQ™ 55S also provides excellent hold under high humidity conditions and stiffness that can be modified with thickeners or plasticizers.
AQ™ 55S can also be used as a film forming resin in water based heat seal coatings and adhesives. Dispersions of AQ™ 55S can be easily applied to packaging films to form a clear, thermoplastic coating that can be heat sealed to other films and foils.
In flexographic ink formulations, AQ™ 55S is used as a binder. The rapid drying speed of this polymer due to its small particle size allows for inks to dry quicker and printing speeds to be increased.
