Key Applications
wood finishes; glass coatings; automotive; metallic-flake orientation; adhesives; coatings; inks; plastic coatings; flow and leveling aidProduct Description
Used as binders and additives in coatings applications for a variety of substrates, including plastics, textiles, metal, and wood, these products offer a wide range of properties based on their butyryl, acetyl and hydroxy contents. Most grades are soluble in several low-cost solvents and are compatible with a range of resins and pigments.Document: CABs in Coil Coatings
