Overview
CAP-482-0.5 is a mixed cellulose ester with a high propionate level at a low molecular weight. Cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) are highly soluble and compatibility with most common resins. They have low odor and are effective film forming agents recommended for use in inks, OPVs, plastic and paper coatings. CAP-482-0.5 is effective in dispersing pigments and stable to ultraviolet light. They do not react with dyes, fluorescent colors, or metallic pigments. CAPs provide the durability of cellulose acetate and the solubility and flexibility of cellulose acetate butyrate.
