Coatings and inks formulated with Eastek™ 1200 have decreased drying times, excellent gloss, good alcohol resistance, and a low coefficient of friction. The reduced drying time provided by Eastek™ 1200 allows for improved efficiency through faster run speeds during printing and coating operations.
Films formed with Eastek™ 1200 are non-tacky and will not block. This makes them useful in heat seal coatings for packaging applications. Films of Eastek™ 1200 can be formed on films and foils and wound to then be heat sealed to other films and foils at a later time.
Eastek™ 1200 also is a useful primer for wood coatings, The polymer penetrates well into porous surfaces and the dispersion is free from amines which cause wood to yellow.
