Eastek™ 1000 is the 30% solids, aqueous dispersion of AQ™ 38S, a sulfopolyester resin with a glass transition temperature of 38°C. It consists of self dispersing anionic particles and is free from co-solvents, amines, and surfactants. Eastek™ 1000 exhibits fast drying, excellent alcohol resistance, low odor properties, and good penetration into porous substrates. When used as a film former and binder, Eastek™ 1000 rapidly dries to form clear and glossy thermoplastic films with good flexibility and no tack. Eastek™ 1000 has excellent adhesion to many common packaging films such as metallized PET and provides films with outstanding flexibility making it an ideal binder for inks and coatings used for flexible packaging.
